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).

This brownie is delicious! I am so happy I found this! I have tried other keto brownies but this one is by far the BEST! And healthy!! Happy, Happy, Happy!
Delicious! I added Keto Coconut, raw almonds and keto caramel to taste similar to almond joys! Question- they didn’t stick together super well, would Xantham gum help with this or do you have another thought!?
Hi! We don’t know about xanthan gum, but definitely pressing down extremely firmly (with a sheet of parchment) before baking will help them be more firm!
This recipe is great and the brownies are amazing. The only thing I would change about the recipe is adding an additional 5 to 10 minutes to the bake time.
Why doesn’t this have the Macro count? Any thoughts on this?
Sorry- I found the Nutrition / Macro button!!
Hello. These look great. The only thing I wanted to know is if you can give us an idea of how to use this recipe with another sweetener like Monk fruit or Allulose since that report came out saying that erythritol can cause issues. Thank you so much.
These were tasty!! I followed the recipe except for using coconut sugar and I did add some dark chocolate chips. I was super impressed. Everyone including my super picky, naysayer husband even said they were good. The almond flour did not give it an excessively grainy texture. This recipe is a keeper for sure! Yay!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this amazing keto brownies recipe!!🙌🏻🤗 I’ve tried so many Keto brownies recipes but this one by far is the best! Brownies are so chocolatey, fudgy (I added chocolate chips, pecans and walnuts) , soft (not dry like other keto recipes), so delicious, and super easy to make!
I used Ductch cocoa powder only (we prefer this over regular cocoa powder as it gives more rich flavor and beautiful color in baked goods) and reduced the amount of sweetener (to 1/2 cup only as my husband and I do not like it too sweet). Also I mixed Allulose & monk fruit blend sweetener and a bit of Monk fruit & erythritol blend sweetener and it turned out perfect 👌🏻😋 Thanks again!!♥️
Hi Katie, I am an artisanal chocolate maker, Yup, we make chocolate straight from the beans. Recently we started working on lip balm from our beans. That means we separate the cacao butter from the cacao solids. The result is that we ended up with a lot of leftover cacao powder. So I started looking for ways to use it and came across your recipe. Everyone who has tried these brownies made with our cacao powder loves them. I just wanted to thank you for the recipe. It is wonderful. I make it exactly as you have it written using Monkfruit for sweetener. Yumm One thing you might want to note as I see you call for Dutch cocoa powder. Yes, that process give a very uniform taste however, the thing many people don’t know is that the dutch process cocoa powder is washed with a chemical agent to substantially alter its taste and color. The result is that this type of cocoa powder ends up being heavily processed and devoid of any natural goodness of cacao. If you are not interested in the health benefits of dark chocolate then no biggie but lots of people think that they are getting the benefits while eating this type of chocolate and that is just not true. Just thought I would mention that. I also love your Coconut Crack recipe. I, of course, add cacao nibs and my chocolate to the recipe. But I love making them and often tell people about your blog. Thanks again for your awesome recipes.
Absolutely delicious. The best keto brownie recipe I’ve tried.
Add coconut sugar instead of granulated erythritol.
Instead of water or more oil due to the thick batter, I added 3 Tbspoons of strong cold brew coffee. Also added 1 tbspoon Ghee for added moisture and a handful of pecan nuts. Let the brownies chill in the fridge overnight. They are so fudgy and dense.
Now I can freeze them up to 3 months!
