These delectable Keto Brownie Bites are filled with gooey sugar free caramel sauce. With less than 3g total carbs per serving, you can afford to indulge!
Okay be honest here. When you started the keto diet, did you ever think you’d be eating salted caramel brownies? No, no you didn’t. The thought never even crossed your mind. I can answer that one for you easily enough!
No one realizes how flexible a keto diet actually can be until they dive in and start searching for recipes. They think it’s going to be all meat, cheese, and eggs, and the idea of living without carbs can seem like an insurmountable obstacle.
Honestly, that’s why I spend so much of my time trying to create amazing recipes that people can’t believe are low carb. Classics like chewy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies as well as more innovative desserts like Keto Ding Dong Cake help people feel like they aren’t on a restricted diet.
These Keto Salted Caramel Brownies are easy to make, fun to eat, and definitely not restrictive!
Why I love them
Right now, I can’t get enough of my sugar free caramel sauce. Actually, I feel that way about it all the time. I want to drizzle, dip, and pour it on everything. Keto Brownies and caramel are a natural fit.
Both the brownies and the caramel sauce come together quickly and easily. Then all you have to do is bake them in a mini muffin pan and press a well into the center after baking. Then pour in the caramel sauce, sprinkle on a little sea salt and voila! A low carb dessert that looks and tastes indulgent.
And would you believe that they have less than 3 grams of carbs per serving? Hard to believe, but it’s true! So you can make a batch, take them to a party, and amaze people with your awesome sugar-free baking skills.
Reader Reviews
“O.M.G. These are AMAZING!!! I have to freeze most of them so I don’t eat them all at once! That caramel sauce is to die for! I got my Bocca Sweet and Swerve Brown just this past week . . . I can’t tell any difference between that and regular full sugar caramel sauce. And Caramel is my kryptonite . . . Can’t wait to try it on vanilla ice cream!” — EAP
“Carolyn you are my hero!! I’ve always felt that those comfy, sweet delights we enjoy that were made with wheat flour and cane sugar were possible in the low carb/keto world. I’m learning so much from you. Thank you so much for leading the way!! I would love to see pastry shops open up that specialized in such healthy sweet delights!” — Geoffrey
Ingredient notes
- Keto brownie batter: You have plenty of choices here. My Fudgy Keto Brownies recipe is made with almond flour. While it’s my favorite option, you could use the coconut flour brownies for nut-free. You could also use another recipe or a store-bought mix, if you prefer.
- Sugar-free caramel sauce: Simply put, my keto caramel recipe is top notch and I don’t think you’ll find a better one. However, you are free to use another if you so choose.
- Flaked sea salt: This just takes it over the top, in my opinion. But of course, you can skip it too!
Step by Step Directions
1. Prepare the brownie batter: Prep the brownie batter as directed, omitting the chocolate chips.
2. Bake the brownie bites: Divide the batter among the cups of a mini muffin pan lined with 24 silicone or parchment paper liners. Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes, until puffed and just set to the touch
3. Prepare the caramel sauce: Make this while the brownies are baking, as you will want to let it cool and thicken a bit before using.
4. Form the wells: Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool 10 minutes. Then press wells into the center of each with a small spoon or the handle of a wooden spoon. Let cool completely.
5. Fill the brownie cups: Spoon into the brownie bites and sprinkle with a little sea salt, if desired. Let set 30 minutes before serving.
Tips for Success
It’s important to line the muffin pan with parchment or silicone liners, to keep the brownies from sticking. You can also use a silicone muffin pan. Don’t use paper liners as you will lose much of your brownie when you try to peel off the paper.
Sweetener Options: My brownie recipe calls for Swerve but you can use your preferred granular sweetener instead. I’ve used allulose as well, and they turn out great. The caramel Sauce really requires the proper mix of the two sweeteners listed.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can, in fact, make a good keto-friendly caramel sauce. My favorite method is to combine a brown sugar substitute with some allulose, as I find this provides the best flavor and consistency. And many of my readers agree!
Store the brownies in a covered container on the counter for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for a week. They can also be frozen for several months. Store them in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn.
