Ingredients:
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar substitute
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt for the brownie layer.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the melted butter, sugar substitute, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the two layers together.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to set.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your scrumptious sugar-free, low-carb cheesecake brownies!
