    Sugar Free Red Velvet Brownies

     
    This is a simple recipe for making homemade red velvet brownies.

    However, this recipe is made without adding sugar.
     

    Did you try my recipe for The Best Sugar Free Chocolate Brownies?

    That brownie recipe has been extremely popular with my readers.
    If you are looking for a basic sugar free brownies recipe that one may work for you!

     

    This recipe uses No-Taste Red Gel Food Coloring rather than the usual basic food coloring. You can find No-Taste Red Gel Food Coloring here.

    People often ask what is the flavor of red velvet.

    The first thing that I tell people is not to be surprised by the color.
    This is because the color of red velvet anything has nothing to do with the taste..

    Red velvet gets its flavor from the ingredients that make it famous.
    The distinct flavor of red velvet baked goods comes from the combination of the unsweetened cocoa with vinegar (and sometimes buttermilk).
    Because of the vinegar that is added, red velvet may have a hint of tang in it.

     

    You may be wondering what is the difference between red velvet brownies and regular brownies.

    Obviously, red velvet brownies are red.
    Regular brownies range from black to brown or even blond or tan.

    Red velvet brownies are not as sweet as regular brownies.

    Because of the vinegar, red brownies have that tang rather than the overly sweet flavor.
    To balance out that tangy flavor, red velvet brownies are often topped with cream cheese frosting.

    Here are some tips for making red velvet brownies.

    Top these brownies with cream cheese frosting.
    You can find my recipe for Stevia Cream Cheese Frosting here and my recipe for 5 Ingredient Sugar Free Cream Cheese Frosting here.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. No-taste red food coloring is used in this recipe. This is because regular liquid or gel food coloring can leave a bitter taste when used in large quantities.
    2. Like with most anything that is made in the kitchen and is also red, there is always a chance of staining. I know this from experience :). I suggest wearing an apron or clothes that you do not mind getting red food coloring on just in case there is a spill or a splatter.
    3. My cupcakes are topped with sprinkles. You can find sugar free sprinkles here.

     

    How to store red velvet brownies.

    These brownies should be stored in an airtight container.
    I prefer to refrigerate my although, they can probably be frozen too.

    How to make Sugar Free Red Velvet Brownies

     

    • Preheat the oven to 325. Line a square baking pan (8x8 or 9x9 inch pan) with parchment paper that overhangs the pan slightly. I suggest that you pretreat or butter the parchment paper as well.
    • In a medium bowl, use a whisk to mix together the flour, baking powder and unsweetened cocoa powder. Set this bowl aside.
    • In a mixing bowl, mix or beat together the butter with the sugar alternative. Then add the eggs one at a time, stirring gently between additions before stirring in the vanilla and the vinegar.
    • For the next step we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl (flour etc.) to the mixing bowl. Do this by adding half of the dry ingredients first, gently stir and then add the rest. Mix the ingredients until just incorporated. Then stir in the food coloring using one to two teaspoons as needed.
    • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool for ten minutes before using the overhanging parchment paper to lift it out of the pan.
    • Serve with cream cheese frosting as desired when cooled.
