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).

This was a great recipe! but I had to make a few tweaks because I didn’t feel like going to the store! I used a 1/4 cup Monkfruit/stevia blend for the sweetener and instead of the Dutch cocoa I melted a 1/4 cup Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips. Next time I’m going to try 1/3 cup because it could have been a little sweeter. For the frosting I melted a 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips! Worked like a charm! I’m wondering how sugar free maple syrup would work as a sweetener? I’m just glad we can eat sweets on keto! Off to find my next keto dessert recipe!
Hmm, we haven’t ever tried it, but be sure to report back if you experiment before we do!
Amazingly easy , didnt even need to get the mixer out , turned out perfect
Ok, so I made these exactly by the instructions except for I didn’t have Dutch Cocoa Powder and I used melted salted butter because we didn’t have unsalted I used 3 tbsp of water instead of oil and I used the other sugar that was on the list that started with an “e”; anyways, while the brownies came out tasting really good they were super crumbly. I’m a beginner baker so I’m not sure what I could’ve done wrong and how I can improve so I can make this recipe again and not have to deal with them crumbling. I had to waste a bunch of containers putting one in each because they crumbled so much that it’s hard to tell what’s one Brownie and it’ll have to be eaten with a spoon or fork.
These are SO SO good! They taste just like the real deal!
Tasted great only thing is that they were very soft. I baked them for almost 30min and let them cool for well over an hour but they still fell apart when I tried to cut them.
I did love this recipe. Easy and delicious. I add some dark chocolate chips on it and my girls love it. It was perfect!!!
My 18 month old son loved these! I’m glad because they’re healthier than boxed brownies. The sugar I used was coconut palm sugar. They were a little crumbly out of the oven but I’m sure sitting in the fridge will help them firm up.
These were better than expected! I read some of the comments about the texture and softness. I added 1 Tbs of Arrowroot and they firmed up really nicely. I also used a sugar replacement called Swerve. I am really pleased with the results of this recipe and will be making them again I’m sure.
what would be the monk fruit equivalent for sweetener. Thank you
Can I use monkfruit for sweetener?
Hi, you can use a monkfruit erythritol blend like Lakanto. We haven’t tried pure monkfruit and have heard it can be bitter alone.
This is easy to make, easy to follow instructions, and easy to finish. 😁
