Pro Tips
• • For an extra gooey, lava-cake-like center, slightly undercook the brownie. Start with 60 seconds and check—the center should still be a little wet.• Don’t skip the cooling time! Letting it sit for a minute or two allows the brownie to set properly and develop a richer, fudgier texture.• Elevate your dessert with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream, a scoop of low-carb vanilla ice cream, or a few fresh raspberries on top.
