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.
