Ingredients
These brownies are not only easy to make but need only seven keto-friendly ingredients that you may already have in your pantry. The ingredients are surprisingly low in carbs and super easy to find.
- Almond Flour – It’s great to use in keto desserts and I suggest using it in this specific recipe.
- Keto Approved Sweetener – You can use Erythritol, Xylitol (no aftertaste), Monk Fruit. I suggest taste test the batter before baking and adding more sweetener if needed. To me, the quantity of sweetener I used brings the perfect sweetness.
- High-Quality Dark Cocoa – Cocoa it’s a key ingredient here since it will make the keto brownies very delicious and chocolatey. Cocoa powder also helps with the texture.
- Dark Chocolate – Focus on using high-quality ingredients. That’s how you get the best results. It’s important to use both dark chocolate and cocoa powder for the perfect texture. You can use any dark chocolate that has an 85-99% cocoa percentage.
- Butter or Coconut Oil
- Eggs, to bind everything up
- a pinch of baking powder

- your favorite crushed nuts (walnuts, macadamia, pecans, almonds, etc)
- fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries
- unsweetened shredded coconut

Keto Brownies FAQ
Can you replace almond flour with coconut flour?
For this recipe and for the sake of great texture, I don’t recommend using coconut flour. Coconut flour absorbs liquid very quickly and you may end up with dry keto brownies. However, I’ve got another great keto brownie recipe with coconut flour for you.
Why is My Keto Brownies Salty?
If your brownies end up salty is because you used salted butter. I recommend using unsalted butter because it will over powder the rest of the ingredients and make it incredibly salty.
How to Store Keto Chocolate Brownies?
Store fudgy keto brownies for up to one week in the refrigerator. Reheat the brownies in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
You can also freeze the brownies and eat them when craving a chocolatey keto dessert. Frozen keto brownies can be stored for up to 6 months. Just thaw them before serving!
- Please see the section on sweeteners for deets and possible substitutions (very important, as various sweeteners behave very differently here!). Just keep in mind that stevia doesn’t work (at all!) for these!
- If using powdered erythritol, and your batter ends up too thick, you may want to add an extra egg. Just be sure not to over-whisk, or your brownies could end up more cakey rather than fudgy.
- If measuring the cocoa with tablespoons, be mindful of how you scoop as you can end up with a lot more cocoa powder than needed. Drop the cocoa powder into the tablespoon and level it, rather than scooping it out of the bag with the tablespoon (which can lead to over-packed tablespoons!).
- Use eggs at room temp. The reason is that if your cocoa/butter mixture is not hot enough (and your eggs are very cold), they’ll solidify the butter and your batter will be too thick once you add in the almond flour (doesn’t affect the end results, just annoying to spoon rather than pour!).
- You can add a few nuts, like crushed almonds or walnuts for a bit of extra crunchy texture.
