Keto Brownies
This Keto Brownie recipe only uses one bowl, and is ready to throw in the oven in less than 5 minutes.
The center of each brownie is super fudgy while the tops are slightly crispy and have a nice little surface crinkle to them. Perfect.
I used dark chocolate chunks in this keto brownie recipe but you can use sugar-free chocolate chips or leave them out all together. I like the extra added chocolate.
I’m one of those weirdo’s who will eat melted chocolate with a spoon. For a bit of a sweet and salty mix consider sprinkling some sea salt flakes on top of these low carb brownies.
What Chocolate is Low Carb?

Explorado Market – Keto Chocolate Chips
Lakanto Sugar Free Chocolate Bars
90% dark chocolate, chopped
Any sugar free chocolate sweetened with Stevia and/or Erythritol (both sweeteners are a zero carb sugar sweetener)
Feel free to use your chocolate of choice in this keto brownie recipe.
Almond flour plays the biggest role in this almond flour brownie recipe and helps keep these keto brownies low carb vs. other gluten-free flours. I haven’t tested this recipe with coconut flour.
Almond flour is higher in carbs than some other grain-free flour alternatives but it’s also higher in fat and protein making it a better option than most. The carbs in this healthy low carb brownie come from the almond flour.
Remember when measuring almond flour to spoon your flour into your measuring cup, then level it. Don’t dip your measuring cup into the flour then level.
If you store almond flour in the freezer, you’ll want to bring it to room temperature before you use it.
Almond flour looses moisture in the freezer but absorbs moisture from the air when it defrosts. If you add it to your recipe too soon, it’s suck the wet ingredients right up.
Ingredients in Keto Brownies
For this keto brownie recipe I use a few simple ingredients.
- coconut oil (or oil of choice)
- gluten-free sugar-free chocolate, or chocolate chips
- Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener (coconut sugar works too but it won’t be low carb)
- gluten-free vanilla extract
- eggs
- almond flour (or meal)
- optional: additional gluten-free sugar-free chocolate, or chocolate chips for mixing in
Tips for making keto brownies
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This isn’t a requirement but it’s best practice.

Measure your almond flour by spooning it into your measuring cup and leveling it.

Thanks for the catch! I’m not sure why it was missing but I added it back in. You add it with the vanilla and eggs.

Thula
Hi Chrystal, thank you for sharing your lovely recipe with us….can I use oasts flour don’t have almond flour?
Chrystal
Hi Thula,
This recipe was designed using almond flour, I’m not sure if it will work with oat flour as they absorb the wet ingredients differently.
Best,
Chrystal
