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).

Just made these to take to a Mother’s Day gathering . One of the easiest and tastiest brownie recipe I’ve tried ! Had to keep my husband to only one “ taste test” !!!
Thanks for a great recipe , Katie !
❤❤
These brownies are easy to make and they’re delicious! I only had a 9inch square pan so made 1.5 times the recipe to accomodate and they took about 4 extra minutes of cooking time.
Thanks for the fab recipe!!
Amazing recipe ! From quantities, tips to TASTE!
Absolute yummy brownies !had to stop myself from eating all at once 😀
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
Wow! These are awesome! I’ve made countless brownie recipes and this is the best by far, and simple! One other recipe I tried was very good but a lot of steps and different ingredients – too involved. But this one, this one is the one! Thank you! This is a keeper 🙂
Thanks so much— excellent recipe!
this is an amazing recipe but half a teaspoon of salt has made it taste like the sea. had i caught my wife before she put it in we wouldve been safe but she is a novice. the result is that neither of us can eat it, which is a shame when the ingredients are pretty expensive. wife was brave but she ended up feeling sick. just do a pinch, i wouldnt even use half a teaspoon for a doubled recipe.
update: wife used an actual half a teaspoon and not a measurement. no fault of the author whatsoever!
These were very nice, only comment is there was a slight ‘sweetener’ aftertaste so next time I’m going to cut back on the erythritol
Katie, I’m seeking some advice! I’m embarrassed to ask such a question, please know. Also, before I go on, please know this was MY fault. I’m sure this is a fantastic recipe! I tasted the batter, and the batter was very good…
I wanted to prepare these for my co-workers, as two are on a Keto diet. They brought the ingredients, namely the almond flour and the sweetener, as I didn’t have either. I’ve never baked with almond flour or a low calorie sweetener. For the sweetener, my co-worker brought me a Monkfruit Lacanto sweetener, which had the appearance of granulated sweetener, and the package indicated it could be substituted 1:1 with regular sugar. I assumed, then, it could replace the sugar in your recipe.
Once in the over, the batter basically seemed to almost burn, as sugar can sometimes do in a chocolate frosting if melted too quickly, and there was a puddle of liquid on top of the batter. I believe I followed your directions to a T, as well as the ingredients (except for the sweetener). Has this ever happened to you? You’re so familiar with these ingredients that I thought I might ask you what one earth I may have done so wrongly?
Again, this was not YOUR fault, of course! It was exclusively mine! I’m just hoping to try again, and I thought I’d seek your advice. Thank you in advance for anything you might be able to offer!
How much is one serving supposed to weigh?
These brownies are absolutely amazing! I made a keto peanut butter maple frosting to put on them and they are absolutely to die for! I am strict Keto for health purposes and so happy to have found this recipe!!
I don’t understand the instructions. It’d be nice if it was written out step by step or if the video was more descriptive. I really want to make these but I don’t understand how to start and don’t want to waste any ingredients..
