Let’s walk through making this easy recipe then go over some frequently asked questions and ways you can substitute to make it work for you!

What you will need to make these delicious brookies

First I will take you through making the fudgy brownie layer quickly in one bowl, then I will take you through making the keto pudding chocolate chip cookie batter.

Read through the whole recipe to make sure you have all of the ingredients in easch list of ingredients for both recipes you will combine.

Let’s start with the Low Carb Fudge Brownies!

You will need:

• Butter
• Confectioners erithrytol
• Unsweetened Cocoa powder 
• Large eggs; room temperature
• Vanilla extract
• Almond flour this must be without the skins
• Baking powder
• Sugar free chocolate chips

Line a 10″ cast-iron skillet with parchment paper, or an 8×8 inch square baking pan.

Put your eggs in a bowl filled with hottest tap water and set aside.

In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt butter and confectioners erithrytol and whisk until well combined.

Now whisk in the cacao powder until smooth.

Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.

Now whisk in the vanilla and eggs one at a time until a very smooth batter is made with a shiny top.

Now whisk in the almond flour and baking powder. 

All of the batter should be very smooth.

Now spread into your prepared skillet and set aside this brownie base while you make the keto cookies.

To make the layer of cookie for the brookies, you will need :

• Butter; softened
• Keto brown sugar; packed
• Monkfruit sweetener (like Lakanto Sweetener) or erythritol (or allulose if you want to avoid sugar alcohols)
• 1 box Simply Delish Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding (or other sugar free instant pudding mix)
• Large eggs room temperature
• Vanilla extract
• Amond flour
• Coconut flour
• Baking soda
• Sugar free chocolate chips

Mix flours and baking soda in a small bowl. 

Set aside.

With a hand mixer in a large bowl or a large mixing bowl in a stand mixer, cream butter with keto brown sugar, monk fruit, pudding mix, eggs and vanilla extract very well.

Add in flour mixture while mixing.

Now let it sit for 5 minutes to meld the ingredients.

Stir in sugar free chocolate chips.

Now using a cookie scoop, scoop your chocolate chip cookie dough on top of the brownie batter leaving space inbetween each.

Take your reserved 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips from the brownie recipe and sprinkle on top of the cookies.

Bake at 350F for 20 minutes until the cookies are golden brown and the brownie has slightly crispy edges.

Let the brookie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.

This ensures your pieces will hold together and the cookies do not fall apart.

Since the cookie part of this brookie is made with a soft cookie, not a crumbly cookie, then you have to let it sit so it holds together.

Now that it is cool, cut into 8 large slices.

Serve as is, or jazz it up with a scoop of your favorite keto ice cream!

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container up to 7 days.

You can successfully freeze them up to 3 months as well if you wrap tightly in plastic wrap before adding to a freezer bag.

Tips, FAQs and ideas for substitutions

• You can use another baking dish like a pie plate if you wish instead of an 8×8 regular baking pan or cast-iron skillet.
• Mixing up in a food processor is another option for the keto chocolate chip pudding cookies!
• Take it next level when you drizzle some caramel syrup over everything before baking so it ties everything together!
• You can easily make this dairy free when you use coconut oil mixed with some palm oil or vegan butter instead of the butter. Look for dairy free chocolate chips with the Enjoy Life Brand.
• Make one step easier when you use a Good Dee’s Brownie Mix instead of making them from scratch.
• If you want to add in some natural peanut butter to the brownie batter before adding to the skillet you can! Stick with 2 tablespoons so it does not make the batter too runny.
• This would be the perfect dessert for a potluck or any get together! 
• Try adding in a scoop of protein powder in place of part of the almond flour in the brownies dry ingredients. 
• Do not substitute any other flour like white flour with the almond flour or it will not work out right. You do not need xanthan gum for it to turn out. It will still have an amazing texture.
• You can double the recipe entirely and spread out onto a jellyroll baking sheet to make squares! This makes them easy to share and have leftovers to freeze!

Indulging in a Brookie allows you to relish the flavors of a gluten-free, sugar-free skillet brownie and gluten-free, sugar-free chocolate chip cookies combined into a single delightful dessert. 

With a little creativity and the right ingredients, you can continue to enjoy your favorite treats while maintaining a gluten-free and sugar-free lifestyle.
