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).

Excellent. So happy I found this recipe. Thanks
Easy, chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Delicious!
Absolutely delicious and hard to believe they are keto. I loved the coconut flavor and I added chopped roasted pecan bits. I used 3 tablespoons of water to keep the calories low and smoothed the top using a piece of parchment paper. I also mixed the dry ingredients then mixed the oil, water, eggs and vanilla then added them to the dry. I don’t like really fudgy brownies so I overbaked them (about 25-28 minutes instead of 20) and they came out perfectly ! This is going to be my go-to keto brownie recipe. Easy to put together, minimal ingredients and yummy!
Absolutely unreal. Taste like the real thing and easy to make
Made the brownies today as I am doing keto and MUST have chocolate for the safety of my family 😜. They are very good keto brownie (best I’ve tried so far), consistency is a little weird, but that’s my fault I only had powdered Swerve. Looking forward to them and will make them next time with granulated Swerve. I added some Lily’s choc chips on top.
I have made a few different low carb brownie recipes over the last 4years.
This is by far the stand out winner!!
Thank you for trying them!
Wow it tastes better than I expected.
I didn’t have almond flour at home so I used a blender to make fine almond flour. It worked!
I used monkfish sweetener and it was good.
The only question I have is – what are the storage instructions?
Thank you for making them! You can let them sit out (loosely covered) on the counter for a day. We like to refrigerate in airtight container for 3-4 days after that. Or freeze with a sheet of parchment in between brownies.
I have been a keto lifestyle for a long time, I have a kazillion recipes not to mention books (paleo as well) and I have yet to find a GOOD brownie recipe until now.
I doubled the recipe, as there are four lovers of food in my household, and it turned out perfect. Because I doubled the recipe I also baked the brownies an extra 10min.(keeping eye on them), perfect!
Thank you thank you thank you!! Also, I made the cream cheese frosting (only I halved it) as I also made the banana ice cream and the coconut ice cream to go on top of the brownies!! Fabulous!
There are many keto cooks out there but I believe you’re one of the few GOOD cooks. I have signed up to follow you on Pinterest and also email. Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes. Blessings
Thank you so much for trying all of those recipes! 🙂
Katie! Your keto chocolate cake has saved my life! It’s saved my diet! Thank you! I’ve been doing keeto for 3 and a half weeks and have lost 19 lbs so far, already, and your chocolate cake recipe saved me when I was having a HUGE craving and needed cake. I’m in the middle of trying your brownies recipe right now! A big thank you for the work you do!
Very very good! I did not have enough almond flour so substituted half cup coconut flour with half cup almond flour and used stevia in place of the sugar. I sprinkled some espresso chocolate chips on the last few minutes in the oven…..a great recipe! Thank you!!
Hi Pam,
Did you use Stevia 1:1 as a substitute for sugar? That’s what I did, but they turned out very bitter and crumbly for me. Just trying to figure out what I did wrong. Thanks!
How should I modify this to use wet almond pulp? I recently developed dairy intolerance and have switched to almond milk, which I make myself because that makes better yogurt. It doesn’t seem practical to dry the pulp and then rehydrate it.
Hi, I am making these brownies for the first time. In looking at the nutrition section, it says that this recipe count is for 25 servings! How can you get 25 brownies from an 8×8 pan? Confusing. Please change the nutrition counts, as that doesn’t seem correct.
Hi Amy, these are so rich and fudge-like that a lot of people are satisfied with just a small fudge-sized piece. If you triple the serving size, it’s still just 150 calories and 2 grams net carbs for a bigger brownie 🙂
I don’t know if someone has mentioned this yet, but definitely don’t make these with Stevia. I tried it and they were very bitter and crumbly. Not at all like the pictures or reviews. That is the only thing I changed, so it must have been that. Definitely try them with the recommended sweetener for keto!
This brownies are amazing, thank you for the recipe! :):)
Thank you for making them 🙂
These are so easy but they are also so easy to over bake. They taste great.
My problem with the recipe is the use “US Cups”. When baking, I prefer to weigh in grams as it is easier to calculate carbs and more accurate for dry measure.
I tried the recipe in silicone cups and they came out so easy, but the baking time needs to be adjusted down.
I used butter this time but will try it next time with the coconut oil or perhaps another recipe.
