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).

Typically, I set up a bain marie when I make brownies. I love that the instructions here are to dump everything in a bowl till the batter forms. So. Easy. They also don’t get stuck in the pan! I used a blend of erythritol and coconut sugar. Out of the oven, the texture is spongy. I’m hoping once they cool and are put in the fridge they will become denser/fudgier. It was also difficult to set the batter evenly in the pan due to how thick it was, it had a frosting like texture, so one side of my brownies are thinner than the other. A good recipe when your in a pinch.
very nice recipe than you
PERFECT!!! Tons of Wonderful compliments
Thank you!
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
When I make the brownies, they are always crumbly. Do you have any suggestions why. I usually use Swerve or Truvia.
Thank you,
Paige
Hi Paige, are you using fine almond flour? What other specific ingredients? Do you live in a dry climate or high elevation? Pressing down really hard before baking? Also we do not recommend stevia in these because readers have reported back that it does not work well here. So definitely go with the Swerve if you can!
For Christmas I decided to try these brownies. I cut the recipe in half as it was my first time and I wasn’t sure how they would come out. I didn’t have dutch chocolate and on a whim I decided to melt some cadbury dairy milk chocolate I had, in the butter. I also used regular sugar as I the Stevia sweetener I have has a strong after taste and I also sifted the almond flour. I’ve found using the almond flour without sifting gives it a very coarse, grainy texture I don’t fancy (personal preference) and decided to try sifting this time. All I can say is everything about this recipe is right on the money! The brownies were so soft and fluffy and absolutely perfect! My sister is skeptical about gluten free but after eating one brownie she went back for seconds and I’ve had requests from family to make more. This recipe is definitely a keeper 🙂
I made these for my diabetic dad. He loved them and asked for more.
You need to adjust your time on the recipe. In the instructions it says 20 minutes but at the top of the recipe it says 17.
Oh wow thank you for letting us know! Fixing now 🙂
I made the brownies and they are amazing! Moist and chocolaty! I highly recommend this recipe. I’ve tried making chocolate cupcakes with almond flour but they were dry. This is the perfect recipe for chocolate lovers that want a healthy choice! Thank you SO much!
My husband likes brownies and this looks perfect, making it and in the oven
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely excellent recipe. I use my ninja insta pot and make little cakes ( large muffins) – easy recipe and I use brown sugar and regular flour.
I followed the directions perfectly. Let them sit for 20min and the middle is still gooey?? I put them in the fridge for now 🤷🏻♀️
They will firm up considerably overnight in the fridge 🙂
