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.

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

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).

OMG made these brownies today!!! So moiste delicious! Wish I could post a pictue of them 😆
Hopefully we can bring back the reader image option at some point. We used to have one but it stopped working the right way. So glad your cake turned out well! 🙂
They were great! I used granulated monk fruit (with erythritol). Very fishy and just sweet enough to curb my sweet tooth. Obviously these won’t puff up like regular flour brownies, but a terrific substitute. I’m just beginning my Keto diet and am happy to find a “sweet” recipe that really tastes good. Thanks.
I couldn’t find erythritol anywhere so I used stevia. They were disgusting! I’ll try again if I can find the right ingredient.
Yes unfortunately stevia cannot be substituted here. In Katie’s recipes, if it’s able to be subbed, she will always try to include it 🙂
Yeah I used Stevia too and they were not good but I went back to get the swerve so I’m making them tonight I’ll let you know how it turns out swerve it’s like that other sugar everyone uses that start with the E 😂
Was this the stevia for baking?
Yes erythritol tastes way better than stevia! I only use stevia drops to sometimes add to the sweetness of the erythritol.
Look for Monkfruit sweetener.
Instead of Sugar or Stevia liquid …. is Maple, Honey or Applesauce an option for substitution? I always use chia eggs to lower cholesterol …. Would love to make these soon! 🙂
Hmm sorry we haven’t tried!
My family was recently thrown into the Keto diet as a means of helping to manage my daughter’s epilepsy. It has been a hard adjustment to say the least. I have tried many Keto brownie recipes and these are by far our favorite! My kids said they tasted like, “real” brownies. :). Which is the ultimate compliment a 5, 7 and 10 year old can give to keto recipe. Thank you for being so generous with sharing your recipe. As a mom who was thrown into this diet, I am very grateful for your generosity.
Thank you so much for trying them 🙂
This was too bomb… my family definitely enjoyed this.. my husband just started the Keto diet with me and finding something to curve his sweet tooth has been the hardest for me .. but this recipe he definitely enjoyed .. I will be making this again.. i really enjoyed this… thank you !!!
sooo good! Funny story, our dog’s name is Brownie, so if we said anything about having one, or making them, we had to refer to them as something else!
Absolutely delicious!
My son had been doing Keto for years and was so impressed he was actually scared to eat anymore lol. Same with your chocolate mousse!
What size is a portion size please and the calories?
We’re in the UK so struggle a bit with weights etc.
I made these today for a special birthday boy who has so many allergies. We used 1/2C monk fruit instead of 2/3. By reading the comments I ask substituted the water for coffee. WOW is all I can say. Will be definitely making again!
Thank you so much for making them, and happy birthday to him!
These were perfect. they had the crispy outside and slightly gooey inside. I took them out at exactly 20 minutes and they were still wobbly in the centre but they firmed up when they cooled at room temperature. Very nice.
Thank you so much for making them!
I tried this today but it turned out like a cake and very crumbly. What did I do wrong?
Hi, did you happen to sub coconut flour for the almond flour? What specific ingredients did you use?
Hi. I used the exact same ingredients in the recipe. No coconut flour just coconut oil.
What sweetener, almond flour, etc? Are you at a high elevation? I am trying to figure it out because I am curious too!
I used steviana around 6 packets cuz I didn’t have any other sugar available. I used almond flour. All other ingredients were exactly the same.
Unfortunately if you used stevia, that’s not one of the ingredients listed so it’s not part of the recipe. We can only vouch for a recipe if the ingredients listed are used, because that’s either all we’ve tried or all that works. In this particular case, stevia specifically is not listed as an option because it does not work.
The blog post does say to try stevia and report back. Perhaps its time to remove that suggestion in case others who haven’t tried yet do not read the comments before experimenting.
Readers are absolutely allowed to experiment, and we never want to dissuade people from doing so. Just because we didn’t like the results of using stevia (and many others haven’t) doesn’t mean that some readers might not want to try a modified recipe, as long as they understand the risk.
