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).

I subbed hazelnut flour for the almond flour and used a 6″ baking pan and my convection oven. They came out amazing but i had to triple the baking time for some reason probably related to one or more of the things i just mentioned. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make again!
Great brownies but is the carb count correct by my calculation they are a lot lower than you state on the recipe.
Hmm, you are getting fewer carbs per brownie or more? What ingredients are you using?
Hi, appreciate if you can assist with these 2 points :
1. 2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular
2. 3 tbsp water or additional oil
Do we put these together with all the other ingredients ? If we don’t use dutch cocoa so does it mean that the total cocoa we use is 1/4 cup+2 tbsp ? And if not addding water do we just add the 3 tbsp additional oil with the initial 1/3 cup oil ?
Thanks so much
yeah, i agree! I only thought “well, if i divide two slices of whole wheat bread in twenty ones i won’t have more than 1 net carb, too, lol”
it seems delicious, of course 🙂 the recipes are always amazing, but i’ll might try another one… :c
Very good brownies! The only thing I altered was adding about 1/4 Chocolate chips to batter because I always do that in brownies! And I added about a 1/2 teaspoon espresso to really bring out the chocolate. I feel like there’s always a certain grittiness with almond flour but you get used to it. I was definitely craving brownies but doing keto so this was a great recipe. Looking forward to trying more in the future!
Made the chocolate cake and followed the recipe except we used STEVIA instead of the other sweetener you mentioned. It was almost inedible, so I wonder what we did wrong? Should it be beaten in a mixer? There is no oil or butter in it either, anyway your thoughts appreciated
Stevia is not listed here because it does not work here.
You have no clue how excited I was to come across this shortly before Passover! This is a time of year, when my choice of flour is limited to potato starch, nut flours, and matzo meal. Which generally means that if it’s not meringues or fruit crisps (using matzo farfel in place of rolled oats!), finding baked goods that measure up on both taste AND texture can be a real challenge. Generally speaking? Passover dessert recipes aren’t recipes I’d want to make the rest of the year.
Well, these brownies were a happy exception! Moist, delicious, sinfully rich… AND under my 200-calories per serving rule! I didn’t even need to frost them; just dusted with powdered sugar.
A+, will make again! Probably after things settle down to normal and we can entertain company again…
Yum, yum! The very best keto brownies. They taste like the real deal and can’t even notice the almond flour. Delicious, even my husband who doesn’t like keto desserts said he loved it. The only thing I changed was I used Greek yogurt instead of butter or oil and it still can out awesome. Thanks Katie for yet another wonderful recipe.
Hi Katie, I RARELY leave a comment about a recipe, but these are OUTSTANDING!! Ive made other low carb brownie recipes and they lacked in a major way. I made them with butter and added pecans. I think it’s possible I wouldn’t pass a taste test with these and good old fashioned brownie mix. The only thing I did a little different was to mix the dry ingredients before adding the wet. Keep up the good work! Thank you SO much!
HI Katie, hi Jason, hi u. Could u tell me if the size of each 25 servings is equal to the pictures shown with the recipe?
