A golden sweet coconut topping crowns these chewy and fudge-like brownies . The recipe comes together super fast and is very simple to follow.
I use VitaFiber IMO syrup in this recipe to give the coconut topping its chewy texture. I love this syrup because it contains pre-biotic fiber which feeds the good bacteria in our gut. It has a natural sweet flavor and the texture of corn syrup. This corn-syrup texture is hard to find in a sugar-free product.
VitaFiber IMO syrup has a few downsides. First, it is rather pricey. I don’t use much of this syrup at any one time and find that one bottle lasts for months at my house, so it is worth the investment to have great caramel sauce, hot fudge sauce and other gooey foods. Another downside is that some people claim that it elevates their blood sugar. I haven’t had this issue, but if you are sensitive, it’s best to find a substitute. If you would like to learn more about Vitafiber IMO syrup and a list of research done on the product, check out this link.
If you don’t want to use VitaFiber IMO syrup, or don’t have it in your cabinet, you can still make this recipe. Just substitute in your favorite low-carb syrup. Sugar-free maple syrup, sugar-free caramel, or a sugar-free vanilla syrup would all work well in this recipe. If your syrup is super-sweet, you may need to adjust the amount of granulated stevia/erythritol sweetener in the coconut topping.
These Keto Coconut Flourless Chocolate Brownies are best if you don’t bake them too long. I like to take them out of the oven when the batter is set, but before the top springs back if touched lightly. This gives them a chewy brownie texture. I think they taste best warm (I reheat any leftovers.) and they would be perfect with a scoop of ice-cream on top. Enjoy!

These brownies look so fudgy and delicious. I love the added coconut on top.
Can’t wait to make these!
These brownies look so yummy! Love the idea of topping them with coconut. Coconut and chocolate is such a fab pairing!
Can I use psyllium husk instead of xanthan gum?
I’ve never tried that. You might be able to get away without the xanthin gum, but the brownies might be a little more crumbly and rise less.

can i add the coconut into the brownie batter? how would that effect the outcome?
Erin, that wouldn’t be a problem. If you put it in the batter, the coconut will be spread throughout the brownie rather than on top.
