Helpful Hints and FAQs
Why Temperature Matters
To get a nice creamy batter it is important to use eggs and butter that have reached room temperature. If you store any other ingredients in the fridge such as flour or cocoa (in extra hot. climates) allow them to also reach room temperature.
Is it really important to sift?
sifting your dry ingredients when baking cakes and brownies is always a good idea. It is especially important when using flours such as the King Arthur, keto wheat flour as it is a heavier flour and tends to have some lumps. Sifting will allow some air into your flour as well as eliminate any lumps. The same can be said for the cocoa powder. It tends to settle in the container, and it is a good idea to sift it before putting it into your batter.
Substitutions
Substituting the Sweetener
I use Splenda granulated whenever possible as it does not negatively impact my blood sugar. I find that sweeteners that contain sugar alcohols cause my blood sugar to rise. If this is not a concern for you or you have a preferred sweetener, by all means, make substitutions that suit your preferences and dietary needs. Keep in mind that substituting the sweetener may change the overall nutritional information.
Substitutions for the extra dark Cocoa
I chose to use an extra dark Dutch-processed cocoa in this recipe as I wanted a nice, dark, rich-looking, mommy brownie. You can substitute for any unsweetened cocoa powder that you prefer. It may alter the nutritional information as it’s always the case when making substitutions, but it will not affect the overall success of the recipe by choosing a different cocoa powder.
Are there alternatives to the Butter
in a pinch you could use canola oil in place of butter. However, for the best taste and texture, I recommend butter. Substituting, margarine or shortening is not recommended.
Using another flour instead of King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour
An alternative substitution for King Arthur keto, wheat flour would be Cabalose low carb flour. Cabalose is denser than keto wheat flour, but after sifting, it is a suitable replacement. Using almond flour or coconut flour will require alterations to the liquid ingredients and your brownies will be denser. Substituting with all-purpose flour increases the carbs significantly.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract helps to add smoothness to the flavour. It can help remove some of the bitterness that can accompany recipes that are made with artificial sweeteners.
Using a different Icing
If you opt for another icing, such as sugar-free royal icing or sugar-free cream cheese frosting you will get the same great mummy look. Using products such as Cool Whip or whipped cream can make the piping hard. I have provided nutritional information for the sugar free brownies without frosting so that you can make the choice that best suits you.
Tips for getting perfect Sugar Free Halloween Brownies
When making our brownies you need smooth uniform brownies. Make sure that the batter is free of air bubbles and is evenly distributed in the pan. Tap the pan to release air bubbles before placing it in the oven.
Once your pan of brownies has been baked, allow it to cool before cutting them. Remove them from your pan by lifting the brownies out using the parchment paper.
Always use a hot clean knife to get smooth cuts. I repeatedly clean my knife under hot water while slicing my brownies.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
These sugar free brownies can be stored for up to one week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
When freezing, freeze the brownies un-iced for the best results. Freeze in an airtight container, wrapped in plastic wrap for up to one month.
