These nourishing brownies are everything you want in a brownie and MORE! Dairy-free, grain-free, and sugar-free, these are the BEST Keto Fudgy Brownies ever… and they have a secret low-carb veggie ingredient that makes them super healthy, moist, and so yummy!

Chocolate-y, fudgy brownies are the way to my heart…

There is literally nothing better than a hot brownie with a cold glass of raw milk!

And maybe, I’m committing some sort of brownie crime here…

I mean, when I tell you that I’ve added vegetables to brownies, I realize I’m crossing into some dangerous territory. Because I don’t want anyone messing with my brownies, and I’m guessing you don’t either?

Now, wait just a minute. Before you go thinking that I’m trying to turn brownies into health food…

Well, ok. I admit it. That’s exactly what I’ve done. But don’t go hatin’ on me yet…

Because these are the best dang keto fudgy brownies you’ve ever had! Even if they are “health food”!

Best Keto Fudgy Brownies {with a secret!}

These brownies tick all the brownie boxes:

• deeply chocolate-y
• moist
• definitely fudgy
• milk is a necessity (or dairy-free milk!)

And then they tick a few more boxes…

• grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free
• keto/low-carb/high-fat
• loaded with fiber and veggies

What?! Veggies?! Oh, you didn’t want vegetables in your brownies??

I get it, but will you please trust me? Remember, I have a husband and teenagers, and I don’t get to live in Crunchy Granola-ville all the time.

Like, I actually do have to make things they’ll eat! And boy, did they ever eat these nourishing Keto Fudgy Brownies!

Within 24 hours, the entire 8″x8″ pan was but a memory. Oh, and I also took a few to a meeting, where they were quickly devoured, as well. So yeah, I’m pretty positive you’re going to love these and WILL NOT TASTE the hidden veggie AT ALL.

Pinky promise.

Ready to make the best dang Keto Fudgy Brownies (that also happen to be Real Food, Paleo, and Trim Healthy Mama-friendly)? Ready for my secret?!

It’s cauliflower!!!

A whole cup of it! Are you shocked? 🙂

I hope so! And I hope you’ll get on this cauliflower-in-brownies train with me because I’m staying on it forever!

FAQs About Cauliflower “Cream”

I don’t have/don’t want to use an Instant Pot. How should I make the cauliflower “cream”?

You do not need an Instant Pot (though I highly recommend the IP anyway because it’s just a freaking fantastic gadget!) to make cauliflower “cream”. You can boil the cauliflower in the same amount of water on the stove until fork-tender. Then, blend and add to the brownies.

Will I taste the cauliflower?

Ok, if you’re a brownie batter bowl-licker like we are, you *might* taste some cauliflower, ahem, essence in the batter. Also, you may smell some cauliflower smells when you take the brownies out of the oven. Let them cool, as recommended in the recipe. Magical things, like disappearing cauliflower taste/smell, happen during cooling!

What can I sub for the cauliflower “cream”?

I haven’t tested the recipe with anything other than cauliflower, so I can’t say for sure what might work in its place. Also, other purees that would normally be used in baking, like applesauce or pumpkin, add too many carbs to keep these Keto Fudgy Brownies keto.

So, if staying low-carb doesn’t matter to you, feel free to try an equal amount of applesauce. I think banana or pumpkin would change the flavor too much, but if you like that sort of thing, don’t let me tell you what’s best for your brownies. I’ll do me and let you do you, ok? 😉
