This is a new favorite at my house.  Not only does this brownie taste good and satisfy your chocolate craving, but the recipe is gluten free, dairy free, low carb, keto and  has no added sugar.

Enjoy!

*Note:   This recipe uses erythritol, a non-caloric sweetener.  While it can be a useful choice of sweeteners to reduce sugar and caloric intake, some people find sugar alcohols challenging to digest.  If you use erythritol, use a brand that is made from non-GMO sources.
