Almond Flour Brownie Variations
Feel free to stir a handful of chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts into the batter.
Or throw in some shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or chocolate chips.
The brownies are perfectly sweet enough to serve on their own, but if you want keto brownies with frosting, I love this Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe.
Easy Low Carb Brownies
To come up with this recipe, I simply adapted my keto chocolate cake into brownies.
Since I know brownies have more fat, less flour, and less leavening than cake, I changed the ingredient proportions accordingly.
The first try wasn’t perfect, but recipe experiments are seldom perfect on the first try, and I quite enjoyed eating the fall-apart-gooey flourless homemade brownie rejects.

Flourless Brownie Ice Cream Sundae = top them with a scoop of Keto Ice Cream.
Keto Brownie Ingredients
Instead of regular flour, these brownies use fine almond meal or almond flour (ground-up almonds), making them both flourless and gluten free.
If you can find dutch cocoa powder, I highly recommend using it here when called for, because that’s the type of cocoa typically used in boxed brownie mixes, so it’s what will make these taste the most authentic.
Most regular grocery stores should sell it – look for the words “processed with alkali” on the ingredient list, and that’s the type to use. (Regular unsweetened cocoa powder should be used for the initial 1/4 cup in the recipe.)
The moist chocolate brownies can be made with either regular sugar (for non keto) or granulated erythritol. If making them keto, be sure to buy granulated erythritol, not powdered. Or for paleo brownies, you can also use coconut sugar.
While I haven’t tried the recipe with allulose or stevia, feel free to experiment with a granulated stevia blend if you wish, and be sure to report back for other readers if you do.

- 2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter

Instructions
- *If you're a visual learner, feel free to watch the keto brownie recipe video posted above!Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch pan, or line with parchment. Mix all ingredients well. Spread evenly into the pan. Smooth down, using a second sheet of parchment if needed. Bake 20 minutes on the center rack, then let cool completely and they will continue to firm up. They also firm up even more if you refrigerate very loosely covered overnight. The brownies are delicious with or without frosting (for the photos, I used the keto chocolate frosting recipe linked above in this post).

Hello, can I use applesauce instead of the yogurt?
I can’t take dairy and it’s difficult to find almond or coconut yogurt
Let me know and thanks!
Maria
Yes. Use unsweetened. It will have a different taste but still be good.
Hi, for the keto brownies, can xylitol be used instead? Thanks!
I’m new to keto and I was just wondering something. I noticed the article said “less than 1g of carbs per brownie” Does that tiny amount of carbs matter on the keto diet? Like is there a certain amount you can eat and it still be classed as keto?
You want to stay under 50 but ideally 20-30 is good. Less than 20 is great. My carb intake varies from day to day but most days I try to stay as low as possible
yes you can!!!
I don’t see yogurt in the above recipe??
I would like to try out this recipe but can’t find yogurt listed in the recipe either. Thank you!
Hi! The yogurt was in an older version of the recipe that was made with coconut flour. Katie changed the keto brownie recipe to use the more popular almond flour instead, but the coconut flour brownies can still be found here: https://lett-trim.today/coconut-flour-brownies/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
I know. What are they talking about. lol
I haven’t tried then yet but I did have to cook them an additional 5 minutes has anyone else?
Exactly!! I was seriously confused!!
Yum! I made these a month ago. I was very impressed. I did use less Swerve sweetener (my preference) and I also grated 2oz unsweetened 100% cacao. It was so good! I ate it with a couple raspberries on top. I am making it again tomorrow for a pool party.
Can you use cassava flour or tiger flour instead or coconut
These are amazing !! I used a round tin so only got 8 slices, not the 25 mentioned. If you use the correct ingredients they taste great, I’m surprised about how many people use different ingredients and expect it to come out like it should!?! Definitely going to try more of Katie’s recipes
25 servings??? In an 8 inch pan??? Who makes brownies to only eat one bite at a time?? These are not keto brownies if you can only have one bite and it’s a serving. That’s insane. Please give us a recipe where we can eat a normal sized brownie.
Couldn’t you have just passed on this one altogether rather than troll this woman who is clearly getting great reviews for this recipe? Would you say these words directly to her face in the extremely rude context that you just did? Can you please create a keto recipe and post it for us according to your very requirements stated above? Where is your blog? More important things to worry about in our world right now than a bratty serving size comment.
My come nt above was in response to Kahn BTW. I can’t wait to try these brownies because they look AMAZING!!
Love this reply Shana!!
Thabks for the recipe 😁. I sub the sweetener to monk fruit extract. Hm, still getting used to using it. I cant get the 25 serving though. They cant fill up my 7″ pan fully. I might double these next time
Would it be possible to use xylitol instead of erythritol?
You’re bang on Shana! Recipe DOES say 15-25 brownies…MY big concern would be; how do you get an odd number on a square pan??? My OCD won’t have it! Lol
Shut up you idiot have some respect
Thats not very respectful answer. Unskillfully posed the original issue but it looks like several people said it doesnt make 25. Fair enough. 12 seems quite right. No need to attack one another. Imo.
For those unable to determine how to get 25 pieces out of a square pan, 5×5=25. As far as 15 pieces, 3×5=15. For 25, cut to yield 5 across and cut a gain to get 5 down. You’ve then got 25. Want 15 pieces, cut 3 across and 5 down. You’ll have 15 pieces.
I too thought 25 brownies was a little far fetched. However, I used a melon baller & scooped into paper cupcake wrappers. I was only able to make 22. I’m bringing to a get together where my friend is gluten free. She loves to try my treats. Can’t wait to see how they are.
@Sue. I was thinking about to do the same thing. How long did you bake it for?!
Divide the 25 count by 5…giving you 5 serving sizes. Multiply nutritional facts times 5 to give relative facts for your 5 count serving. You’re welcome…peace
I made these brownies and they are extremely rich, a small serving is all you need. Wonderful recipe – I used water instead of adding more oil and it was still a very decadent fudgy brownie.
❤😊
Hello, what is “dutch cocoa or additional regular” please?
I am in the UK. Thanks 👍🏻
Wow…..that’s all.
Entitlement at is best!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄. If you don’t like the recipe go Google another one that fits your big appetite better.
You know you can cut them to LITERALLY ANY SIZE YOU WANT
Lol exactly
Bahahaha. Thank you for saying the only thing that should’ve been said to portion size patty.
This comment should be dedicated To all the keto Karen’s out there ❤️
Go find a different recipe then and quit bitching
Brownie bites
@KAYH, you don’t have to make these if you don’t want to, no one is forcing you to and there is no need to insult this recipe 🙂 Keep in mind keto isn’t really meant to accommodate desserts so having even one bite as an option is amazing! Sounds like maybe keto or keto brownies aren’t quite for you?
Overall, these taste great! I used allulose to sweeten them and they came out great! Naturally I cut my slices bigger but even just one bite was amazing!
Was the allulose amount the same as in the recipe?
I put these through a Keto calculator. Making 12 brownies they are only 117 calories and 2 carbs each. You should have done the calcs before going off in the comments.
Ooo. Thanks for those macro counts. That makes this recipe definitely doable for my keto diet.
Awesome! I don’t know how to calculate yet. I’m new👏👏👏
You tell them sister!!! I’m making them as we speak. I also will cut into 12 brownies. They smell delish!
Thank for that nutritional fact. Truly helps me a lot. I am diabetic so it is nice to have a small satisfying treat
Okaaaay? So then cut it into 12 brownies. Did you check the nutrition? 12 brownies is still keto.
Rude! Sounds like you need to hire a personal chef. Unbelievable.
Absolutely delish! I used 3 eggs to make it more like a cake. I also add some walnuts. Will make again, thank you for the recipe!
Then adjust it to your desirable servings and figure your macros to fit your eating plan! Keto isn’t about the serving sizes, it’s about the state of ketosis. Nor is it about gorging on keto sweets. 🤔
Kayh…Then adjust it to your desirable servings and figure your macros to fit your macros!!!! Keto brownies isn’t about the serving sizes. Keto is about the state of ketosis.
not how much you want to splurge on to keto your appetite half! It is not about gorging on keto sweets. This should be treat not a meal. That’s the reason too many are unsuccessful in the keto plan. How sad you chose to be rude instead of thankful for her time in creating and sharing her recipes for FREE. Please be a better person🤔
As a rule I never reply to comments, but yours was so particularly misinformed… (and trolls won’t return after this long anyway but….)
By the posted macro list (using erythritol instead of sugar), the ENTIRE recipe has only 17.5 net carbs. Don’t like “small bites”? Divide it into 9 pieces and you still end up with less than 2 net carbs per brownie. Not keto? You’re not only wrong, you’re missing out on a wonderful treat. I am making this recipe tonight for the first time, but having made many different recipes during my keto journey, I already know these will be spot on delicious!
I agree , they are absolutely delicious but 25 servings in an 8.inch pan !!! That’s one mouthful . I cut it into 9 Squares , then read later that I’ve probably eaten my daily carb intake , can we freeze them ?
Brownies freeze very well. These included.
Grow up and move on. Or be thankful that you can actually eat any brownie. Your choice. 🙄
What about it isn’t keto? So eat 4 of them! It’s still keto!
I made these brownies today. I used coconut sugar, real eggs, only had the Dutch Chocolate, so I used it. I put dark chocolate chips and chopped pecans in too. Delicious! Very dark but sweet enough. 😋
Anne, thx bunches for mentioning you used coconut sugar. Was considering that but didn’t want to change up any ingredients first time arnd. Mine are baking an extra 5 min… cant wait to try!
cassava flour VERY high in carbs watch out.. never heard of tiger flour
These look so good! Totally making them with the kids after school today!
Paige
Love fudgy brownies…these look perfect!! 🙂
great recipe, thank you and always happy to see the non refined sugar alternative
Yum! I’m not keto but I love trying different things and yes you can’t ever have too many brownie recipes!
Yes, we need more vegan keto recipes! I don’t entirely support a ketogenic diet, but I definitely support MORE vegan options that fit every dietary preference! These brownies look delectable. I absolutely would dig into one of these brownies ANY DAY!
What are the macros on these.. all of your other items too??
Full nutrition facts for her recipes are always linked at the bottom of the ingredient/instructions in the recipe 😉
Good morning Katie! What sweetener did you use? I didn’t have success with my method. Here’s what I did:
I used Truvia baking blend but didn’t use the conversion chart on the bag so I used 1/2 cup when – I’m realizing now – I probably should have used half that amount. My brownies are delicious but crumbly. I’m not too familiar with using Truvia and am wondering if I need to use the conversion chart amounts but add anything else to the batter (like unsweetened applesauce) in order to achieve the proper bulk and consistency of a traditional brownie batter. Or I just use the sweetener you use and have amazing results!
If you need them to be sugar free, I would recommend either erythritol or xylitol. Otherwise use regular sugar and that works too!
I often use a combo of erythriol & monkfruit to avoid the aftertaste. If you have pets, please avoid the xylitol since it’s super toxic to them, even a tiny bit. Enjoy!
I used granulated erythritol and mine were crumbly, too. Maybe unsweetened applesauce would help?
Hi! Can you use a plain Greek yogurt in this recipe?
Yup!
