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).

These are great! If you like brownies a little more “cake like” in texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
I was able to get 25 brownies out of the recipe, no problem.
Used granular Swerve which makes the difference, in my opinion. Followed recipe exactly using butter, water, and chicken eggs.
Mixed all the dry ingredients together first, then added each wet ingredient separately and mixed in between each addition. I added the melted butter last. The use of both the cocoa and Dutch chocolate definitely makes them perfect.
Thanks for the recipe.
Can you include more Low Carb/Low Fat recipes? I would be very thankful.
I am used to keto, but this is the first time I’ve baked with almond flour. This is a great recipe! They’re a little more crumbly (as goes almond flour) than I’m used to, but the mouth feel and flavor is excellent. Well done!
These are really good!
I made these several times and it tastes delicious. However, I was missing the chewy brownie like texture. Well this morning I tweeked the recipe a tiny bit and whoa AMAZING!! I used flax eggs instead of whole eggs. This helps with the chewiness. Added 1/4 teaspoon coffee granules ➡️ Hello chocolate flavour enhancer 🤩 All butter and no water. And: NO BAKING POWDER. Hello dense, fudgy, chewy brownie. The bakingpowder gives this brownie a more cake like consistency. Still delicious but I want a dense chewy brownie. Well, these tweeks made the best brownies ever😍
Made these last night
They were great! A great treat that won’t spike your sugar. A little different texture than flour brownies but the overall taste was satisfying.
Thank you for trying them!
Pretty good recipe but found it a bit salty.
Hi Clay, feel free to use less salt to suit your own tastebuds – it won’t change the texture of the recipe so is fine to do 🙂
These turned out really well! How long do they keep? Do they need to be refrigerated? Do they freeze well?
Thank you so much for making them! They will keep the same way as traditional brownies, and we like to refrigerate after a day for freshness. Yes you can freeze them 🙂
I love this brownie. Taste very good (like a brownie) and I can stop my cravings with it.
In the first tries, I didn’t put the water enough and it ended up a little bit dry. Please don’t underestimate the water like me 🙂 it makes a difference.
Preparing is not hard, and takes only 5 minutes. In half an hour it is ready, ideal for diet crisis 🙂
Thank you
Thank you for making them!
These brownies were AMAZING!!!
I made these brownies with 1/3 cup of monk fruit sweetener and a tablespoon of agave. They are delicious. I took them out of the oven at exactly 20 minutes and they are moist, tasty and not too sweet.
Thank you so very much for trying them 🙂
