Keto Gingerbread brownies feature gooey and moist brownies, topped with perfectly spiced gluten-free gingerbread cookies. These adorable gingerbread brownies are flavorful, super cute, and taste "just like Christmas."
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square 8×8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring it covers both the bottom and the sides.
Make the Brownie Batter. Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs for 1-2 minutes until frothy.
3 eggs
Add the melted butter and chocolate and mix until well combined.
3/4 cup unsalted butter, 2 oz dark chocolate
Stir in the sweetener, almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix until the batter is well combined.
1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 cup sweetener, 1/2 tsp baking powder
Prepare the Gingerbread Cookie Batter. Add the egg, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and melted butter to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
1 egg, 1 tbsp cream cheese, 2 tbsp cup coconut oil or butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and gingerbread spice.
Mix until a dough forms, then stir the molasses. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a tablespoon of coconut flour.
1 tbsp molasses
Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Assembling the Brownies and Cookies. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Roll out the cookie dough to 1/4" thickness, then use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
Gently place the gingerbread cookie shapes on top of the brownie batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Keep in mind that the baking time may vary, so start checking at the 20-minute mark.
Cool and Slice. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. This helps the flavors meld and ensures a better texture.
