The Best Keto Brownies – They MELT In Your Mouth!
These impossibly fudgy chocolate brownies are almost guaranteed to win you over.
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.

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).

I posted this question a few days ago and it has not been answered to date……..Can you use raw, unsweetened cacao powder instead of unsweetened cocoa powder ?? I can’t seem to find Dutch processed cocoa powder in Canada either.
I used raw cacao powder. As far as the Dutch cocoa, Hershey‘s special dark is Dutch cocoa. Trader Joe’s has one too. But I don’t know if they have those in Canada. I haven’t tasted the finished product yet. It’s in the fridge chilling. But the batter tasted good.😊
These have come out of the oven looking and smelling fantastic, and I can just tell that they’ll taste great as soon as I sample them later today. I was hoping for nutritional value to be listed for both the non-sugar version and a version with some type of sugar (I used coconut sugar). I could figure it out myself, but I’m lazy. 🙂
For anyone who has tried it does it come out to be fuggy the way she said
PS excited to try it
In my 20 years of serious cooking I have never left a review. But bro. These brownies have my diabetic fiancé living his best life. I am addicted to this website and your hacks. I like to substitute coconut oil into this because it gives the brownies an exotic taste but the texture is really good too. Thank you for all the posts and ideas. Fat kids everywhere love you!
Thank you both so much for trying them!
I’m ready to make these for Valentine’s Day! I read through all the reviews from 2020-current but didn’t find a review where anyone talks about using flax eggs. I know this is an approved ingredient in the recipe but has anyone made them and experienced the same yummy fudginess? My child has an egg allergy and we use flax eggs often but they don’t always work as claimed. Just checking before I go for it. Thanks for any input!
These guilt-free brownies are delicious and satisfying, especially if you have a sweet tooth like I do! Great flavor without the carbs! I have made these numerous times and have enjoyed them every time! Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you for making them 🙂
These Keto Brownies look amazing and taste amazing as well. I added Lilly’s chocolate chips and a little keto granola on top. These are so yummy, couldn’t tell the difference between keto brownies and the regular ones…these are better. If you’re looking for a rich moist, and gooey brownie…this is the recipe for the whole family. I tried to eat just one little square but it was difficult. I did get about 16 little square brownies from this recipe while quickly eating two. One must have discipline eating these awesome and comforting brownies.🤣😂
Will save this recipe for all other future snack, desserts and treats. Can trully say one of or even the best Keto Brownies I ever had😊 Thank you.
Thank you for the tree cope but it was wayyyy too sweet for me! I’ll half the sweetener next time.
Made these a couple of weeks ago…first try I was not impressed…but after being in fridge for a week I tried one again and was amazed at the improvement..I have ate them all ….and am making another batch right now because they are better with age..just like me Hahaha lol
Are there any changes that I should make to this recipe at high altitudes?
Hi! Unfortunately we don’t have any personal experience with baking at high altitudes so aren’t able to say how it affects any of Katie’s recipes. Hopefully google research or maybe talking to friends in high altitude areas who are bakers will have some better ideas 🙂
