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.
P.S. —> NO coconut flour, and less than 1 net carb per brownie.

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).

Yes, I mostly kept all the other ingredients the same
I replaced sweetener with inulin
I used dutch cocoa for the whole cocoa part (Van Houten brand, but hershey’s also makes a decent one)
In addition to pure vanilla, I added 2 tsp of pure orange essence (instead of the water), which gave it a nice flavour
I added pecans and 1/2 an el camino 92% chocolate bar broken into bits (5 net carbs for half a chocolate bar)
I also added 2 tbsp of coconut milk because I find it makes it creamier and also gives it a bit of a sweeter taste
Yes, Emily- mostly kept the other ingredients the same
butter, melter
eggs
baking powder…
I added 2 tsp pure orange essence, nice flavour no carbs (in addition to the vanilla, instead of the water)
I folded in pecans and 1/2 broken chocolate bar (el camino 92% cocoa, 5 net carbs)
I used dutch cacao (100% cocoa) for the whole cocoa part (van houten, but hersheys also makes a decent low carb cocoa)
I also added 2 tbsp coconut milk (thick), because I found it gave it a creamy texture and a sweet flavour (and I can’t stand peanut butter, which someone else here recommended)
I tried once to add metamucil (psyllium fibre) for texture, but it dried the whole thing out and was a really bad idea
These are by far the best low carb brownies I have made to date, and I’ve been on this WOE for over 10 years now. I made them according to the recipe and did not alter a thing. Thank you for such a great recipe❤
I dunno what I done wrong, and I followed recipe to a T and they came out very dry and with a funky aftertaste. I used splenda cause that’s all I had for sweetener (on keto, plain sugar you know doesn’t count) I’m sure they are good, but I must have screwed up somewhere
Hi, unfortunately splenda is not a sweetener included as an option in this post and can’t be subbed in an equal amount for sweeteners that have more bulk, such as an erythritol or monk fruit blend (both of those are keto approved). You are always free to experiment with ingredients not listed as options in a recipe, but it’s definitely a risk.
Great recipe. Easy to make, and you only need a couple ingredients. They turned out moist and fudgy. Personally they were too sweet for me. If I want to use less sugar, might this affect the texture of the brownies? What can I use to replace the missing sugar? Thanks 😊
These are AMAZING!!!! The fluffiest, closest to “real” keto brownies I have ever had! Thank you!
You would never know these brownies were keto!
Added one zucchini to this exact recipe. One of the best homemade brownies I’ve ever had.
I just made the brownie recipe with frosting. Wow! It’s amazing. I made it exactly as the recipe suggests.
I made these for the first time today, And they tasted really good but kinda grainy. I had them at a friends and hers weren’t. Is that normal or did I do something wrong? I would probably make them again even if they always turn out this way.
