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

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).

Very easy to make and perfect match with raspberry sauce
Thank you , these are very good.
I’d love to know how you get yours so thick ?
Almond flour recipes generally don’t rise very much.
Thank you so much for making them! Maybe the camera makes them look bigger? They are similar to other brownies, not super thick. But Katie uses a macro lens, so that might be it!
I made these with monkfruit sweetener and they turned out great!
These brownies are great! I used granular Swerve to sweeten them. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making them!
Have made these many a time as a low carb treat – they’re great ! Even our non keto friends enjoy them and don’t realise they are keto .
Plus they freeze really well .
Thanks for a great recipe !!
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
I made this recipe, adding 2 Tbsps unsweetened peanut butter for the extra water/oil. I didn’t have granulated swerve, so Iused confectioner’s, blended with allulose, and a little squeeze of chocolate stevia liquid. I topped them with a couple of tablespoons of Lily’s miniature chips while they were cooling and let them melt, then I spread that over the top as frostong. Delicious!
Made these 3 times in a week and I have never liked brownies until now. My ex husband has never been a fan of brownies either but tried and love them. My daughter hasn’t eaten brownies in about 2 years because of the sugar but love love love these brownies and said they are the best brownies and they melt in your mouth. The 3 of us removed regular sugar from our diets. What do we think about these brownies..GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you for this recipe
Will liquid stevia work in this recipe?
This recipe looks so delicious. I’d love to try these but don’t have granulated erythritol. Would liquid stevia work here? Thank you!
Hi, we have not tried. But other commenters have said they tried to substitute stevia but were not happy with the results using that as a substitution.
I followed the recipe pretty closely and it came out great! I would make this again (and perhaps use a bit less sweetner…I used monkfruit).
I read the comments before I try any recipe. I cant believe all the rude replies! Will find a respectful posting.
Fantastic! Make these every couple of weeks or so. They’re the most nutritional keto treat I’ve ever had, and they are delicious. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
I love the fact that these are so good, But so low in carbs and calories.
So I used stevia instead of the recommended ingredient and it was horrible. Wish I would have read the comments before hand. I’m willing to try again with the correct sugar substitute, I won’t give up just yet.
Use monk fruit. They were delicious
Katie, My husband and I had a really big late lunch. So we decided to eat these brownies for supper. We added some mixed nuts and fruit on top of the brownies. I added yogurt and my husband added whip cream. It was delicious and the perfect meal for the end of the day.
Brownies for dinner. Our kind of people 😂
Should they still be a little jiggly in the middle when they’re done? I feel like they’re not done and leave them in longer and they end up over baking! They still taste delicious but are not gooey like drscribed. Also, I agree the Dutch cocoa makes a difference!
Hi, sometimes they can be, depending on climate/humidity/elevation, or if your oven isn’t calibrated. Just stick them in the fridge overnight, very loosely covered with a towel so moisture can escape, and they should be perfectly firm without being overbaked by the next day 🙂
Does the monk fruit / Erithritol blend have a grainy texture? I wonder if I should use a powdered version.( I make mine in a coffee grinder).
We would definitely recommend sticking with the granulated because powdered sugar doesn’t measure cup for cup with granulated sugar so they wouldn’t be as sweet with that sub.
