Did you know that you can make stuffed cookie butter brownies that are gluten free? There’s a secret trick to it and it’s easier than you think! These impressive looking keto friendly cookie butter brownies are full of rich chocolate flavor and spiced cookie butter. They’re a decadent, fudgey treat with absolutely no added sugar or wheat. The combination of chocolate and cinnamon spice makes this a great dessert to warm up with after dinner and can be made ahead of time for a special occasion or if you enjoy meal prepping.
First, you make the middle cookie butter layer by freezing it solid. That means when it bakes between the chocolate brownie dough layers, it doesn’t get absorbed. It’s a great trick for any stuffed brownie you’d want to make. From there, you make the gluten free brownie base with the help of almond and lupin flour. They are keto friendly ingredients that taste good and give your bake that perfect brownie texture. Once your cookie butter is frozen, you can place it between the brownie batter, swirl some more cookie butter on top, and put it in the oven!
See, easier than it looks! The result is a beautiful brownie that has layers of delicious flavor. Not only is this made without any added sugar, but it’s a great looking dessert that will impress anyone you share them with. Plus, explaining how to create homemade stuffed brownies makes for an interesting tale!

What is cookie butter?
Cookie butter is a delicious dessert spread made from cookies, usually spiced speculoos. ChocZero makes a variety of gluten free cookie butters, including a crunchy speculoos spread that has cookie pieces mixed into the smooth spread. We make our cookie butter with the crumbs of our cookies, mixing them until they become smooth and thick like peanut butter!
Do I need to make my own gluten free cookie butter?
Absolutely not! If you’re gluten free and looking to cut down sugar, just get a jar of our cookie butter. It’s great for baking projects like these stuffed brownies and reduces the amount of time you spend in the kitchen. We recommend using our smooth speculoos cookie butter spread for this one.
How can I make keto friendly brownies?
Making keto friendly brownies is a great way to enjoy a decadent dessert without hurting your macros. With the help of gluten free flour such as almond and lupin, you’re able to bake brownies without worrying about too many carbs or sugar. We use cookie butter to bring the flavor of these brownies, along with cocoa powder so you get a rich chocolatey taste baked into your brownies. These brownies are stuffed with cookie butter and we also swirl some on top, so each bite is jam packed with flavor.
How can I make stuffed brownies with cookie butter?
If you’ve ever tried to make stuffed brownies, but the filling vanished into the rest of the bar, we know how you feel! That’s why we freeze the layer of cookie butter so when it’s baked with the rest of the batter, it maintains the layer in the middle. We also add a healthy dollop of cookie butter to the top of the brownie, so there’s layer after layer of awesome deliciousness.
How do I store low carb brownies?
Store these keto stuffed brownies in an airtight container for 1-3 days.
