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.

Flourless Brownie Ice Cream Sundae = top them with a scoop of Keto Ice Cream.
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.

- 2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

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 can’t have almond flour, what other flour can I use for the Keto brownies?
I would just use one of her other brownie recipes instead: https://lett-trim.today/category/healthy-brownies-and-baked-goods/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
I made these, and my family enjoyed it and even asked for more, and they aren’t even following a keto diet. 🙂 This is definitely becoming a a regular thing as it was really easy to make and came out well, even though I did make a mistake by not mixing all the dry ingredients first before the liquid ingredients. I used coconut oil and ghee instead of butter to avoid issues with dairy, and I couldn’t even wait to not taste some of the batter before popping it in the oven, and I really love the chocolate and coconut flavours together. Next time, I’ll make sure to not make any mistakes, but that it turned out wonderfully still for a beginner in the kitchen…Well, thank you for sharing this recipe. It means a lot to people like me with blood sugar issues that we can still enjoy delicious food that’s also healthy. You’re part of the reason more of us can adhere to a healthier lifestyle.
Hi Katie,
I recently started by keto diet and was craving for a brownie, your keto brownie is the best thing i have ever had in my keto diet. I loved it
Looks yummy. Can I use all Dutch cocoa instead of the two different types of cocoa? How about Lakanto sweetener which is a combo of monkfruit and erythritol? That’s what I have at home but I don’t want this to be a fail. Thanks
Made these for a family member on keto and will NOT make again. I substituted butter for coconut oil, and stevia for Erythritol. They were not edible. We are huge chocolate lovers and had high hopes, but they were not met.
But if you subbed stevia for the erythritol then unfortunately you didn’t make the recipe. Stevia is specifically not listed because it doesn’t work! You are of course always free to change up a recipe, but always at your own risk.

I made the brownie recipe & followed it except I ran out of Erythritol & had to use just a Tbs. of Splenda. I threw in a hand full of pecans & baked for 22 minutes & they were perfect. I also melted Pillsbury sugar free icing & drizzled over them. I’m on a low carb diet & crave sweets. These were yummy. Thanks!!
Ooh those look so good!
These were absolutely perfect for me! You can’t even tell that they’re sugar free. I used flavourless coconut oil. Thank you Katie for including some keto recipes! I used a combination of Xylitol sweetener and Splenda. Next mission is to add the frosting, yum!
I just made these and used the exact ingredients for the exception of the sweetener, I used monkfruit which was fantastic as there was no after taste. I there in some walnuts. I am happy with this recipe but is there an ingredient I could add to help with the bit of crumbliness because of using almond flour. I have noticed most keto desserts like cake or cookies have that slight crumbliness. Just need something to stabilize this, otherwise great taste!
Hi Dottie, did you ever find a solution to this?
I think after mixing this up as written[used melted butter] that one quarter tsp of xanthan gum would perfect these. They seemed too wet. I’m also baking for an extra two minutes. Most brownie recipes don’t use water, just oil. Something else you may consider.
I add zanthan gum powder to most almond flour baked goods recipes. About 1/4 teaspoon per 1 cup almond flour. This helps hold things together and gives a chewiness to cookies and bread items.
I love me some Chocolate Covered Katie, but girl, 25 brownies from an 8×8 pan???? I made them with Swerve confectioners as it was all I had. They are not bad but I get 9 brownies from an 8×8 pan at 105 calories and 1.7 net carbs each. I swapped Cabot low fat Greek Vanilla Bean yogurt for the 3T additional oil and I never use egg yolks; two egg whites for 3ach egg.
I made these brownies because I was looking for an easy-to-make keto dessert. They were so yummy! I added keto chocolate chips (Lily’s Brand). I will definitely be making these again! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.
Those look fantastic. Thank you so much for making them!
The bom! Wow! Right out of the oven these are amazing. More to come as they cool, if they ever make it! YUMMM!
