A delicious low carb brownie can be hard to come by!  I've tried many different recipes and I'll honestly say that this one is my favorite!  When Theresa Knorr and I began talking about her amazing recipe her main thoughts were that this was a great recipe that she really wanted the THM community to hear about.  So many times the Facebook groups move so quickly that wonderful recipes slip through the cracks.  I was happy to post the recipe for her in hopes that we can reach more folks with her fudgy goodness.  If you aren't a Trim Healthy Mama, this is a low carb set of recipes. gooeybrownies Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup light or extra virgin olive oil or butter (melted)
  • 1 & 1/4 cup THM Gentle Sweet 
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cold brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup THM Baking Blend
  • 2/3 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray. Glass or metal will work just fine. Mix the oil or butter, sweetener, vanilla and eggs with a spoon or mixer.  Add the coffee and mix well.  Combine the flours, cocoa, baking powder and salt together.  Stir into the egg mixture, but do not over mix.  Bake for 28 minutes.  Cooking times may vary depending on your oven.  You could dust the brownies with erythritol when they are cooled. After cooled, cut into 12 nice sized brownies.  ENJOY! Note: If you prefer a more cake like brownie, cut the coffee back to 1/3 cup and bake a minute or two longer.  These freeze great! This post actually contains a bonus ice-cream recipe!  I'll put this little hidden treasure into a separate post in the future so it's easy to find if you just want that recipe.  Theresa's favorite way to eat her brownies are with her Peanut Butter Ice-cream! pbicecream Peanut Butter Ice-cream Ingredients: 
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all natural peanut butter
  • 1 Tbs vegetable glycerin
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 5 doonks of THM stevia extract
  • 1/2 cup xylitol
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp Gluccomanan
Directions: Blend all the ingredients together in a blender.  Freeze in an ice-cream maker. The vegetable glycerin you can find online or in some healthy food stores. It really helps the ice cream not to get rock solid in the freezer.

    Ah! This brownie looks like perfection! I have tried and tried to work on brownie recipes, but I haven’t found one for my snobbish tastes yet! This looks like it will do the trick! I love that it has coffee in it!! Can’t wait to try!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      Thank you, Sarah! 🙂 I can’t even taste the coffee in it, but it enhances the flavor.

  2. Sheryl

    The peanut butter ice cream looks grat…do you know which type of coconut milk she used?…canned or carton? thanks!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I used a can, Sheryl! I even used light and it worked great.

      • Ann

        I am confused – your February 16 reply said you use the one in the carton – NOT THE CAN -so is is canned coconut milk or the coconut milk that is in the refrigerator section with the almond milk (I guess some is actauuly sold on the shelf as well)?

  3. Tanya

    Just put these in the oven. I licked the bowl like a little kid…sooooooo good! Can’t wait to taste the final product.

  4. Charlie

    We aren’t coffee drinkers…anything I can sub? I’ve never bought coffee and don’t own a coffee pot or anything.

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I bought a small cup at a gas station. I feel ya! If you don’t want to do that you can use water. It just enhances the chocolate flavor. You truly can’t taste it…or I’d not like it.

      • Charlie

        Thanks! I have been too nervous to try the okra brownies from the cookbook, and I miss gooey chocolate treats! 🙂

  5. Rachel

    I can’t currently drink coffee but am dying to try these- any suggestions on what I could use instead of the coffee? Thanks!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I can’t either due to my adrenals…but it’s such a small amount that I have. I’d say to just use water.

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      Water would be ok. I just bought a small cup at a gas station. I hate coffee and you can’t taste it.

    • Frances Leclere

      I think I would use Roma or Cafix instead of coffee, because I’m allergic to coffee.

  6. Talynn

    Hey, these look great! How important is the extra almond flour though? I have the thm blend and coconut flour but no almond flour in the house.

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      You could try all THM Baking Blend. I’ve not though..

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I used half butter half Olive oil. I’d say you can try it.

  7. Analisa

    So after hubby leaves in the morning for work, I know what I’m doing with that coffee left in the coffee maker! Yum!

    • Jennifer

      Did you try making it with all almost flour??? I’m curious I want to try these but I don’t have any TMH baking blend… though I have all the stuff to make a substitute for it I found on Pintreset.

  8. erica

    ok, just wanted to give you a shout out to let you know that i had just about given up on low carb brownies….I’ve tried so many, all of which i have thrown out. I finally made these tonight, and I LOVE them…they’re pretty close to the real deal…next time I will probably add some lily’s chips to them (my fav off plan brownies are ghiradellis triple chocolate chunk). Great job and thank you! 🙂

  9. Joy

    Can I use all THM baking blend instead of half and half almond flour? 🙂

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      You can try it if you want. I haven’t tested it myself.

  10. Ann

    Question on coconut milk: Is it the stuff you buy in the 1/2 gallon container – typically found in the milk section of the grocery store or is it the full fat stuff you buy in a can?

      • Ann

        On December 2, you said you use can – could you clarify? Thanks!

  11. Stephanie C

    After my two years of eating THM, these are by far the best brownies for my taste buds that I have tried. Out of the ballpark delicious!

  12. Wendy

    The brownies are so yummy! My husband said they don’t taste low carb (high praise!). I got all crazy and sprinkled a few sugar free chocolate chips on top. I never need to try another brownie recipe again!

  13. kelly

    I am looking for a low carb brownie to make for my son’s ice cream cake. Do you think these would thaw (fork friendly) or stay rock hard b/c of the almond flour? Thanks!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      THey’re great after thawed. I’ve frozen them. 🙂

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      Vegetable Glycerin in ice cream helps it not to freeze hard as a rock. 🙂

  14. Sara-Jeannette Munteanu

    What can we substitute for the coffee in this recipe?

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      You can just use water…the coffee isn’t detectable, but brings out the chocolate flavor.

  15. Jill

    Have you ever substituted other sweetner. That much xylitol bothers my stomach.

  16. Renee Rogers

    Still wondering whether it is the canned coconut milk or the carton in the refrigerated section that we are supposed to use since I have seen you post both :/

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      Just regular coconut milk..not in the can. Like almond milk.

  17. Joellen

    These brownies are awesome frosted with the Five Minute Fudge from Nana’s Little Kitchen. I thought I’d never find a THM brownie recipe good enough to replace my family’s favorite frosted brownie recipe, but this one does it. The texture’s not quite the same, but it’s really close. The coffee brings the depth of flavor that other sugar free brownies lack.

  18. Linn Morales

    May I say, I just made this and my husband and I ♥️♥️ It! It is the best THM based dessert we have had. It does not even taste THM like. We struggle with the flavor and texture of almond flour and coconut flour. This taste amazing! Thank you for sharing! It will be a family fav for sure!!!

    […] Last week I got a text from my sister-in-law telling me she had finally found an excellent THM brownie. I immediately went to the kitchen and made them. And yes, it was THE brownie. Perfect! Fudgy. Dense. Chocolatey. I didn’t even have to wait until they had sat in the fridge overnight – they were excellent right away! Don’t you want to make them? Of course! (You can use any low-carb brownie recipe for this dish, but I would highly recommend Theresa’s Gooey Brownies.) […]
