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.

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).

Made these today .They are good but not fudgy. Would like them thicker.I will double the recipe next time.There will be a next time.Added sugar free chocolate chips.
Please can you put recipes with weights is grams and / or ounces?! We in the UK don’t use cups for measuring so we’re unable to taste your lovely recipes!!
Thank you
Do you think I could safely use brewed coffee in place of the 2 Tbl of water.
Has anyone tried to make these with less or sans the keto sugar? Did they work out ok still? I’m keto…..but most sugar substitutes give me headaches so I try to avoid or use very minimal amounts.
Tia!
I always use less sugar. In this recipe I used about 3 full tbs less and it was fine. Next time I will use 4 tbs less. Excellent keto recipe
These are indeed easy and delicious. I added a handful of chopped walnuts. My batch needed 25 mins. Next time I will try with the frosting or a handful of chocolate chips on top. Mmmmmm.
Hi Katie!
What a fabulous cake ! It’s the second recipe I try from your website.
You are definitely the queen of healthy desserts !
It always takes time to convert all US measurements to European ones but it is worth it !
The brownie is just amazing.
I replaced 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil by melted cocoa butter and I added 3 tbsp of coconul oil. I have an electric oven, I cooked it 25 min at 180°C (natural convection).
The cake looked barely cooked after 25 min (only the surface was slightly hard) but eventually it was just perfect. Spongy perfect cake.
Thank you so much for making them 🙂 🙂
OMG the best Keto Brownie recipe I’ve tried. These are soooo very yummy.Thanks for sharing!
Hello Katie! I have loved your blog and site for years
I tried the Chocolate Keto Cake today and actually made cup cakes
also used King Arthur Baking Sugar Alternative and they taste great.
I was wondering If I can also use this King Arthur Alt. in the brownies??
thank you
Grandma and big fan
ok. this is the first time I have baked keto. The texture was ok, but different due to the almond flour. I used coconut oil and my husband said they tasted like coconut, but it could have been the texture that threw him off. I am going to try again with vegetable oil and see what he thinks. I made them for my daughter that is sugar free and a coworker that is gluten and dairy free. We shall see what they think! Over all it was an easy recipe and looked good out of the oven( better than the other recipe I tried that were so flat!) I am not a brownie fan but they looked and smelled amazing!
Should they be very loose when first out of the oven? I know it says they will set. Guess I’ll find out soon as mine are resting now!
Hi yes, they firm up considerably, especially if refrigerated!
