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).

I made some substitutions, and it still turned out to be great! A little crumbly due to almond flour, but tastes amazing. I used 1/2 cup monkfruit/erythritol blend for sweetener, one shot decaf espresso instead of extra water/oil, and melted 85% chocolate instead of dutch cocoa, and added walnuts. Very rich brownies!
Regarding the Keto Brownies, am I understanding correctly that the nutrition facts provided are accurate when cutting an 8×8 pan into 25 pieces?
1st try the granulated erythritol makes it grainy and more like fudge
2nd try liquid stevia instead and the after taste was too strong
both times it was really dense like a real brownie
3rd try I powdered the erythritol in a coffee grinder, and to make a bit more fluffy i added an extra egg, and doubled baking powder. alse used butter instead of coconut and it made the most fantastic chocolate cake. took 40 mins to cook though.
4th try I will do 1 tsp baking powder but keep the extra egg and powdered erythtritol. hopefully not as fluffy. but ive almost nailed this recipe now. basically anything using almond flour in place of flour add more egg and or baking powder and it will be fluffy.
I made these as the recipe described they came out a little drier than I prefer. So I remade them using milk instead of water. They turned out so fluffy & moist. Also added no sugar added dark chocolate chips on top. They were delicious! 🖤
I didn’t use any sweetener and they came out good enough. I baked for 20 minutes but they came out a bit overcooked, with a cakey texture. I think 12-15 minutes would have been better for a chewy texture. Overall good and easy enough to satisfy my craving.
I followed the recipe as written except I used sea salt in place of regular salt. I used coconut oil and where it says 3 tbsp water or more oil I used real Tillamook butter and I used swerve sweetener. These brownies are very good and no nasty after taste.
How do you get 25 brownies out of a small 8×8 pan?
My FAVORITE keto brownies!
I add toasted pecans & 1 extra Tbs of almond flour. I make these at least twice a month.
Absolutely delicious! So moist and flavorful. Me, my husband, 4 year old and 2 year old loved them! Thank you 🙂
