Bacon Brownies
Cooking Steps
Cut the bacon very finely so it is almost shredded. You don’t want lumps of meat in your brownies. Gently fry it for 7 minutes, adding in a tbsp of maple syrup for the final minute. Drain off the fat and set aside.

Break up the chocolate into chunks and place in a double boiler (put a glass dish over a small saucepan of boiling water). Cut in the butter and the rest of the maple syrup. Melt until it is a thick goo. Set aside to cool.
Sieve together your dry ingredients (coconut flour, cocoa powder and baking powder) in a large mixing bowl.
Beat the eggs together with the milk.
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, stir in the beaten eggs and milk then gradually pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until it is a thick batter (careful not to over stir, the coconut flour tends to suck up moisture like a dehydrated elephant and you’ll be left with a hard lump). Fold in the bacon bits.
Pour into a well greased 7in x 11in brownie tin and bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool before slicing.

Just made this! It took 20 minutes to bake (not 10). Came out like “chocolate cake”! I would add even more bacon next time! Overall good recipe and definitely satisfies that “chocolately baked good” craving
I’m going to try this as well! Although, I’d like to replace the syrup with something else to make it more Low Carb High Fat-friendly… Any ideas anyone? Agave syrup would probably work but it’s too sweet for me as well. Maybe just Stevia and/or erythritol? Or is the maple syrup there for texture too?
Just want to raise an objection to this kind of concoction. Mixing high-carb and high-fat ingredients is a bad approach. While neither are bad for you, high Fat + high Carbs is a future coronary.
Going to make these tomorrow, would liked for them to be paleo friendly, the milk makes it so it’s not, but I’m swapping out the maple syrup for agave, it’s cheaper and sweeter so you can use less. I think maple syrup can taste very strong in recipes. I’m going to take the advice of one of the reviewers and cut up an extra piece of bacon. I love organic bacon, it’s the best.
The maple syrup adds 8.8 sugar grams per serving. It would be worth it to try it….
If the full serving is a problem, enjoy only 1/2 a serving, but always add more bacon!
