No-Sugar Baker's Double Chocolate Brownies

Are you a dessert purist? A no-sugar skeptic? A serious sweet tooth?


We invite you to try these seriously good sugar-free brownies. We make them with Swerve, a natural sweetener that measures cup-for-cup with sugar (no math required!). Swerve is made from select fruits and root vegetables, and it’s got NO artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors. It doesn’t raise blood sugar or insulin levels (it’s non-glycemic), so it’s safe for those living with diabetes and, perhaps best of all, it bakes up well.


The No-Sugar Baker’s Double Chocolate Brownies have a chocolate layer on the bottom and a very soft, chocolatey top. They’re a nice balance between crispy and fudgy, and they have a cool, almost minty freshness to them. The amount of chocolate in them is perfect.
