Peppermint Brownie Bites - Dairy-Free and Nut-Free

Looking for an allergen-free keto holiday dessert? These easy low carb Peppermint Brownie Bites are dairy-free and nut-free too! Not to mention delicious and cute.

I seem to have a thing for classic holiday flavours this year. All of the low carb Christmas desserts I’ve made have been Gingerbread, Chocolate Peppermint, or Cranberry Orange. Really, when you think about it, you simply can’t go wrong with one of these. Or better yet, all three of these. All three, yes definitely all three. I like that idea immensely. That’s the joy of Christmas cookies, after all and there is simply no reason to limit yourself to any one flavour. Holiday cookies are meant for sharing, so you can have a dessert tray spread with all sorts of wonderful goodies, some made by you, some made by friends. Preferably bite-size little goodies so you can have a taste of each without feeling like you overdid it.

When I was a kid, the Christmas cookie tray was one of my favourite parts of the whole holiday. As I got older, I was given the honour of arranging it, fanning out the various tasty treats in concentric circles on a large glass platter. There were always mincemeat tarts and fruitcake, shortbread and pecan crescents, and some delicious chocolatey concoction. Maybe a few pieces of english toffee and some peppermint bark, if we’d received some from friends. And now I have remade almost ALL of these classic Christmas cookies into healthy low carb cookies that fit the keto diet. I seem to consider this my life’s mission. Not a bad mission to have, if you think about it.

These little dairy-free and nut-free peppermint brownie bites are ideal for that Christmas dessert tray. They look so pretty with the bright white peppermint frosting, and adding a few holiday sprinkles doesn’t hurt (no…they are not sugar-free, but there’s so few that they don’t add any carbs). My kids loved these little bite sized keto treats. They were such a hit, I only regret not making a double batch!
