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
- 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).

Thank you for sharing your wonderful keto brownie recipe. I just made these and I cannot express to you how happy I am with this recipe. It has been years since I’ve been able to sink my teeth into a good chocolatey brownie without the guilt or sacrificing the enjoyment for raising my blood sugar.
These keto brownies have all the components of what makes a good brownie. The chocolate flavor? check! The crispy edges? check!
If anyone reads this comment and considering making this recipe, go for it. You won’t regret it. This is one of the “good” recipes.
Katie I have a YT channel (Sandra’s Homespun Life) and I will be making a video on this recipe. It’s that great! I will send my viewers to your site and give a link to your recipe!
Thank you once again!
Thank you so very much!
Keto Brownies were amazing! I didn’t have exactly all the ingredients to make them keto, as I substituted granulated sugar for Swerve (I was out). However, I used sea salt and I LOVED the chocolatey salty flavor!
Awesome, worked perfect! Used Xylitol, cause I had no Erythritol and I winged the Icing.
Great Stuff!
Thank You!
Wow, wow, wow!!! These are the BEST KETO BROWNIES EVER!!! Of course I took the advice of another friendly person who left a comment and divided them into five portions, multiplied the macros by five as well. It works out fine if you make smart carb choices throughout the day. These are going on my list of desserts to bake for guests. Going to try out more of your recipes! Thank you for all your hard work!
This is an amazing recipe and tastes just like normal brownies. I used a square 8” pan and cut into 16 and hey were decent sized portions. I didn’t change any ingredients but with the brands I used they worked out at 1.1g carb per portion. This recipe is a keeper! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
I missed the nutritional information. Would you please share that again?
Hi, full nutrition facts are linked under the ingredients for all of Katie’s recipes. 🙂
I’m a chef and I love your recipes and photos, and this one was quite tasty the first time I made it, when I used the coconut oil option instead of butter. I also chose to use the option of extra oil instead of water but found the cake to be way too greasy. Also way too sweet for my taste. However, my friend loved it that sweet. When I tried the option of butter the next time and water instead of extra butter, I found the brownies too cake-like and dry. So not every option works together it seems. Maybe be a little more clear about this?
Also wondering why you say bake time is 17 minutes at the beginning and 20 minutes bake time in the instructions. I had to do it somewhere in between and this worked.
Love your creative and abundant keto recipes. Keep up the good work!
I followed this recipe exactly using swerve granulated sugar and ghee. The flavor is good; not too sweet nor bitter. The texture is not fudgey but more towards cake-like. It definitely satisfied my brownies craving without the sugar BUT it is a little bit crumbly. It doesn’t completely fall apart when I cut it or bite into it but I had to eat it over a plate before some of the crumbs goes everywhere. What do you think that cause it to be crumbly?
Hi! Maybe the ghee? We have never tried it that way!
I tried this today; eggs, water and butter options used, no dutch choc and 1/3 C stevia crystals. Batch 1 was nice, slightly dry and crumbly.
Batch 2 was identical to batch 1 but I added about 75g of no sugar added smooth Bega peanut butter. The texture and taste were both improved.
These brownies were great! I intentionally did not tell my family they were keto friendly. They would automatically decide they were gross even before trying them! So i just said i was making homemade brownies for the first time (because I am normally a Better Crocker/Duncan Hines kinda girl, ya know? Shameful, I know). Anyhooo, they LOVED them. I used a pan that was slightly too big so I wish i had cooked them for a little bit less than 20 minutes…the edges became very crumbly. Also, my almond flour was not very fine ground and i was worried when i looked at the consistency of the batter….maybe that was part of the crumbly factor.
But the middle pieces were dense and rich. Add that AMAZING chocolate cream cheese frosting and sugar free chips on top and they were TO DIE FOR! Once everyone raved about them I revealed they were keto-friendly and they were duly impressed.
I have leftover frosting and i have no idea yet what to do with it but I will find something!
This made us so happy to read 🙂
