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!

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).

These were amazing…I’m back so I can make another batch. I used Bob’s Red Mill super-fine almond flour (it doesn’t have a gritty texture like some), added Lily’s dark chocolate chips and used Nutiva butter-flavored coconut oil. These are incredibly rich and delicious and certainly satisfy a sweet tooth. My husband and son tried them and couldn’t believe they were keto (they are both carbivores).
Thank you all for trying them 🙂
How can you get 17-25 brownies out of an 8-inch pan? They would be minuscule, wouldn’t they? I’m still going to try them but just wondered about the serving size!
They are very dense and fudgy! So you can cut them more like fudge if you want a small treat (think fat bombs). However, the nutrition info for 1/25 is so low that you can also easily cut them double that size and they’re still pretty great nutrition facts 🙂
How much cocoa powder do I use if I only have Dutch process cocoa powder and no regular cocoa powder
Sorry honestly we haven’t tried and so don’t know what the flavor would taste like that way.
I made these for my husband. He was not a fan. He said they were very dry and not at all fudge. I used Splenda because that is what I had on hand. Could that be the issue?
Hi, yes unfortunately it really needs to be erythritol (or sugar) because Splenda or stevia will change the texture/bulk and flavor completely, especially since almond flour is already a different texture from regular flour.
I have erythritol to use as a sweetener, but do you think adding chocolate chips sweetened with monkfruit would be ok? Really excited to try this recipe!
If you like the taste of the chocolate chips on their own, definitely you can use them in the recipe 🙂
I used Splenda’s monk fruit in mine and they came out great! I put chopped pecans and put caco nibs in also! They came out perfect!
So glad they turned out well! Thank you for making them 🙂
Don’t see nutritional info. Will you share?
Hi, nutrition facts for all of Katie’s recipes are always linked under the ingredients/instructions 🙂
This recipe is the best kept brownie recipe I have tried this far. I do add Lily’s milk chocolate chips to the top and PB FIT drizzled on top. I have made this recipe many times and find that I do have to cook it for 30minutes in my gas oven. They haven’t set up for me when I have taken them out at the recommended time. LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe though!
Thank you so much!

I made the chocolate keto brownies today… I used chia eggs (since these are for someone who is GF/Dairy Free and egg free) and coconut oil… I baked them for about 24 min and they’re still a soft mess. They’ve been done for a couple hours, sitting on the counter. Impossible to cut b/c they don’t hold together. Not sure where I went wrong?
The recipe doesn’t call for chia eggs. They don’t list that as an option.
Try Bob’s red mill egg replacer next time. I think that is one of the best egg alternatives I have tried. This really is a great recipe, I’ve made it 3 times…it’s worth another try.
These were the best keto brownies I have tried yet (and I have tried a TON of recipes, nothing else has compared until now to regular box mix brownies. You would never know these are low carb!
how much sugar, carbs, and fat are in a brownie? it looks & sounds delicious but id like to know the nutritional value 🙂
