It’s one of those must-try recipes, because you really need to try them at least once in your life to discover how shockingly good they are!
The simple recipe is so rich and delicious, you might never go back to boxed brownies again.
P.S. —> NO coconut flour, and less than 1 net carb per brownie.

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.

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

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).

New to baking, when u say ‘mix well,’ with an electric hand mixer, whisk, fork, whichever? Tx sry!
Oops I also only have 9×13 pan so was going to use 1.5x recipe? Ideas for time? Tx!!
Made these today for my pregnant sister with gestational diabetes who was craving a chocolate treat during the holidays. It came out so good, its a great recipe! Her blood sugar didn’t spike either. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
After reading other reviews, I reduced sweetener to a scant 1/2 cup of erythritol and monk fruit blend. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly with the addition of a sprinkling of toasted pecans and SF chocolate chips. Hands down the best keto brownies yet; I will not look any further for a rich, gooey brownie recipe, this is the winner!
Thank you so much for trying them 🙂
Can you use xylitol in these?
We haven’t tried, but we have had success with xylitol in most recipes that call for sugar and don’t have yeast… so we think it would be fine! Be sure to report back if you try 🙂
Has anyone tried these with coconut sugar?
That works! 🙂
How do they need to be stored? In the refrigerator or out on the counter?
We fridge for freshness, but if you’re serving them and need to leave them out for a few hours that’s perfectly fine.
I made these last night, I ran out of erythritol after ⅓ cup, so I added ⅓ cup of Brown swerve because that’s the only other sweetener I had. I also added ½ tsp of spearmint extract to try and get a mint flavor. It was very slight, if I were to try it again, I’d probably add a full teaspoon, and ⅓ cup of pecans. They were very good, but cutting them into more than 12 was impossible. And when I added the ingredients into MyFitnessPal it came out at 145 calories and 6.7g net carbs. A bit much for someone trying to stay under 20g per day. But my husband loved them, he’s already on maintenance, so he can afford the carbs! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi, was 6.7g carbs per brownie? Thanks 😊
These guilt-free brownies are delicious! I add a generous helping of pecans and/or walnuts to the mix to make it even more delicious (for those that like nuts). I love the fact that you can eat these without worrying about “carb overload” and still feel satisfied (for those of us that have a sweet tooth). These are GREAT! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for making them. Yours sound even better with pecans 🙂
These are amazing!!! I have tried others. Your recipe is exceptional! Do you have a yummo keto chocolate cookie recipe?!?!
She does! https://lett-trim.today/keto-chocolate-cookies/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
B💣MB!!! On the last two scoops of the cocoa, I added Nestlé Quik!! Lol, OMGosh, don’t judge me! Its just that I tasted it before the Nestlé scoop and I just had to add one scoop! Other than that I followed the recepi, exactly and it is exactly what I needed! I froza half of this recepi because I felt that it was a lot! Enjoy!!
