🧁 Ingredients
For the Keto Brownie Recipe
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- ½ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional Add-Ins
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- Extra chocolate chips for topping
📝 Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour: Gives brownies a soft, fudgy texture. Do not replace with coconut flour; it will make them dry and crumbly.
- Sweetener: Monk fruit or erythritol works best. Avoid stevia-only blends for baking — they can create a bitter aftertaste.
- Chocolate Chips: Choose sugar-free or keto-friendly brands (like Lily’s).
- Butter: Adds richness and moisture. Coconut oil is a dairy-free option but slightly changes the flavor.
- Cocoa Powder: Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa for a deep chocolate taste.
🍽️ Step-By-Step Instructions
1. Melt & Mix the Chocolate Base
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and sugar-free chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Your kitchen will smell divine at this point! Let cool slightly.
2. Whisk Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture. Whisk until thick, glossy, and fully combined. This step creates that classic brownie chewy, fudgy texture.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. The cocoa aroma alone may tempt you to eat the batter — resist! 😄
4. Make the Batter
Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture with a spatula. Mix gently until no dry flour remains. The batter will be thick, rich, and chocolatey. If adding nuts or extra chocolate chips, fold them in now.
5. Bake the Brownies
Line your baking pan with parchment paper and spread the batter evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–22 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like them. The edges should be set and the center slightly soft.
6. Cool & Slice
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps them firm up into that perfect chewy texture. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
💡 Pro Tips & Variations
- Extra Fudgy: Remove from the oven 1–2 minutes early and chill after cooling — perfect gooey texture!
- Nutty Crunch: Add pecans, walnuts, or almonds for crunch and healthy fats.
- Mint Chocolate Brownies: Add ¼ tsp peppermint extract for a holiday-inspired twist.
- Dairy-Free Version: Replace butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free keto chocolate chips.
