My youngest sister told me I shouldn’t call these ‘brownie’s’ because they have more of a ‘fudge’ texture. They are baked though and as far as I’m aware, you can’t bake fudge so…. The compromise is fudgy-brownies. You can call them whatever you please because whichever way you look at it they are delicious so who really gives a hoot what they are called?
These bad boys are packed with nutrient dense healthy fats and I have used a few medjool dates to sweeten mine but you can sub in your keto- sweetener of choice if you fancy, I am yet to find one that I enjoy the taste of though I am going to experiment with some monk fruit sweetener soon and see how that rolls so I will keep you posted. I have used nuts in this but have provided you with a nut-free option.

Hello.
Just a little heads-up it whatever you call it in Australia 🙂
The title says nut-free, but the recipe has macadamia nuts or the nuts if your choice.
Please delete this comment after reading as it’s not really about the delicious recipe, itself. TY <3
Yes! Thank you! There is a nut-Free option so I will add that in the title
Ok… these look next level delicious! Next time you need taste testing… we’re totally here for you
What do you sub for the dates to make it keto?
You can ferment the sugar out of your dates using kefir
Wow! Cool I will look into that, thanks 🙂
