Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour (fine, blanched)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (for extra richness)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.Melt the Butter
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly before using.Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt until well combined.Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.Mix Everything Together
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. If using, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or nuts.Bake the Brownies
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.Cool & Slice
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares. This helps them firm up and enhances the texture.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them and refrigerate for an hour before serving.
- Almond flour vs. Coconut flour: This recipe works best with almond flour; coconut flour is too absorbent and will make the brownies dry.
- Sweetener choices: Erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose are the best keto-friendly options. Avoid liquid sweeteners.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
