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.

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.

- 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

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 made the keto brownies and they smell excellent. I let them cool after baking in my large ninja countertop oven for 20 minutes. The brownies never firmed up in the middle. A couple of hours later I baked for 10 more minutes and still didn’t set. What am I doing wrong. I used almond flour, butter and water.
Thanks
Hi Linda, we have never tried the recipe in a countertop oven (we actually have never tried any recipes in a countertop oven) so have no idea how/if this one would work in one unfortunately. We DO know that they firm up overnight in the fridge, so hopefully yours will still be fine :).
These brownies are so good. I have made them for my husband and father in law at least 5 times. They are on the keto diet for health reasons and are so happy to have a chocolaty treat. I am currently making 3 batches for a road trip! Thanks Katie!
Thank you so much for trying them!
These were pretty good for keto. I wouldn’t call them “unbelievably fudgy”, but I enjoyed the density of chocolate flavor. I used monk fruit/erythritol, eggs, and let the brownies sit in the fridge to cool down… they were still pretty crumbly but I guess you can’t expect perfection without all the real flour and sugar. Thanks!
Hi 🙂 I would love to try this.
What is the frosting used in the picture?
These brownies are amazing, gooey and lovely, used high quality cocoa powder and takes away any erytherol aftertaste, also added a pinch of stevia. Fabulous thank you xx
None of the recipes use Truvia. How do I convert these weird chemical sweeteners to the natural one, Truvia?
Can I use granulated splenda?
Hmm sorry we have never actually tried it. Be sure to report back if you experiment!
Loved…loved…. loved!!!!! Wow. I used granulated monk fruit and It turned out great. Even my son loved these brownies. My daughter was skeptical and after one try she was hooked. Thank you for this. I can now have a healthier brownie….no sugar and no flour. Awesome!
❤😊
Love love love these!! Used the suggestion of walnuts and choc chips – yummm
Thank you for making them 🙂
My son has just made this recipe and Oh my gosh it’s really yummyyy though he changed the butter into coconut oil!!! Thanks Katie for helping us living healthier life without drooling anymore!!! 😄
