I am always in the mood for a brownie, but most of the time my macros won’t allow it or I’m just craving something indulgent and sweet with not time to bake brownies! To make it more acceptable and easy to eat brownies everyday we created these Mini Brownie Bites that are basically delicious, chocolate-y fat bombs. No baking is required and you can make them in bulk weeks ahead of time.
Check out our list of the 17 Best Keto Fat Bombs.
The Best Low Carb Chocolates To Use.
When it comes to finding good options for low carb chocolate, looking at not only the nutrition, but the ingredients is key. The lower in carb the better is is, so that usually is a darker chocolate if you are just buying from the grocery store. We always get bakers chocolate from the baking section, which is great to already sweet dough and cakes!
If bakers chocolate is too bitter for you, you can find more specialty chocolate such as Lily’s chocolate chips or coco polo (our personal favorite) in certain health stores or online! Whatever you use make sure you don’t see maltitol on the label – that is a big no go!
Why We Love No Bake, Low Carb Sweets!
The most obvious reason we love no bake sweets is that less work is required overall and we can eat it sooner then if it had to bake and cool first. But, those aren’t the main reasons we love them. We also love that:
- We can make them single serve style.
- They are usually smaller portions so no over consuming.
- They can satisfy a sweet craving immediately without needing to go off plan.
- The usually last longer in the fridge or freezer than baked goods!
Some great examples of no bake desserts from our food blog are our no bake peanut butter, coconut balls, low carb chocolate mousse, and no bake cheesecakes! Give them all a try this week and satisfy your sweet tooth cravings guilt and effort free.
