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.

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.

Keto Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 3 tbsp water or additional oil
- 2 eggs, or 2 flax eggs
- 2/3 cup granulated erythritol or regular sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
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).

Hi, I made these brownies with all of the ingredients listed, and I felt sick after eating them from the amount of coconut oil lingering in my mouth. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe I am just not used to keto. The texture of these brownies is great, but they tasted very strange. I’m sure this is a wrong turn on my end, not yours, but please help! Btw, I love your recipes!
Hi, what specific ingredients did you use? Keto is indeed very fat-heavy like you mentioned and these brownies would definitely fit into that fudge-like category (which is why the serving size is so small – they are so rich). So maybe it’s that? Or if you’re just not a fan of coconut oil, butter or a vegan butter spread can be subbed if you want to try that!
I think Keto fans developed a different taste for chocolate. My non-Keto friends think my chocolate and caramel packaged snacks have a strange after taste. I don’t taste it. I think I’m just thankful for Keto friendly snacks. I don’t have to ignore my cravings.
Love love love these brownies!!! Needed a keto recipe like this to satisfy my major sweet tooth. I use this recipe over and over and no need to go back to boxed brownies that are full of nasty sugar. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for making them!
Hi, i have followed your instructions to the letter but when it came to baking 20 min was definitely not long enough. My brownies were not ready and when I used a stick it was covered in all the lovely chocolate dough. 🙁
Not sure what’s I did wrong.
Thank you so much for responding! I think that next time maybe I will try using butter instead of coconut oil, or water instead of the additional oil. I will definitely need to give them another try, I am in need of a healthy dessert! Thanks again for your help ❤
These came out fantastic. I used 3 tablespoons of coffee instead of the water for a little extra depth of flavor. I also added some Lily’s chocolate chips to the batter. Will make these again!
What are the nutritional facts ? How many carbs does it have?
Hi Patty, all of Katie’s recipes have full nutrition facts linked under the ingredients/instructions 🙂
I made these today in a 9″ square pan with allulose (1 cup instead of 2/3 of conventional sugar or Erythritol), and they are by FAR the best keto brownies I have made. This is definitely a recipe I will keep on hand. I added chocolate chips (lily’s) on top, and pecans on half for those who like nuts. Light, moist, richly chocolate, not too sweet. Thank you for a very successful recipe.
Thank you so much for making them!
I just made them. They are good, except I taste the salt. I doubled the recipe, all except the salt. I left it at 1/2. It may just be that my current Keto lifestyle limits my straight salt intake. Therefore I’m a bit sensitive. I was impressed that, with the exception of the second cocoa ingredient, I had everything in my cupboard.
Good recipe. Keep them coming.
Yes- Exactly the same here. Too salty. Otherwise perfect!
Need fine almond flour. Taste good but kinda grainy texture.
The first time I made them I used Stevia. It did not turn out well. Fast forward today using the same ingredients except Stevia. They turned out well. I also, made the icing to go with them. I used powdered sugar. Yum, yum.
