Are Brownies Keto?

Regular brownies made with sugar and wheat flour are not keto-friendly. A square (28g) of homemade brownies contains over 15g of net carbs and are super easy to overindulge, which may instantly kick you out of ketosis.

With the right low-carb ingredients and a simple recipe, you can still enjoy the indulgent delight of keto brownies. In just 30 minutes, you can whip up a batch of these delicious treats using my favorite recipe.

Ingredients for Keto Brownies

These keto brownies are not only easy to make but need only 7 ingredients that you may already have in your pantry.

Usually, brownies are made with flour and sugar, so we’ll try to make a lower-carb version while aiming for the best texture and taste.

Gather all the ingredients, preheat the oven, and make a batch of my keto brownies. And try not to eat spoonsful of batter! You’ll be surprised to find out that the ingredients we are using are low in carbs and super easy to find.

These super easy to make keto brownies are low carb, fudgy and have a dense creamy texture that melts in your mouth.

A few notes on the ingredients:

  • Almond Flour – Almond flour works wonders in flourless desserts, and it’s a must-have for this particular recipe. To ensure a smooth texture, go for super-fine blanched almond flour or sift it to remove any larger almond pieces. Say goodbye to any gritty bits!
  • Sugar Substitute – Choose from options like Erythritol, Xylitol (no aftertaste), or a Monk Fruit sweetener blend as your preferred sugar substitute. To find your sweet spot, give the batter a taste test before baking and add more sweetener if desired. Personally, I find that the recommended quantity delivers the perfect level of sweetness. DO NOT USE STEVIA! IT MAKES THE KETO BROWNIES SUPER BITTER AND COMPROMISES THE TEXTURE!
  • High-Quality Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Cocoa it’s a key ingredient here since it will make the brownies very delicious and chocolatey. Cocoa powder also helps with the texture.
  • Dark Chocolate – Opt for high-quality dark chocolate to elevate the flavor and texture of your brownies. Using both dark chocolate and cocoa powder is key. Look for dark chocolate with a cocoa percentage of 85-99% for the ultimate richness.
  • Butter or Coconut Oil – Don’t hold back on the butter listed in the ingredients because it’s what gives the brownies their delicious and fudgy nature. It might seem like a lot, but trust me, it’s essential for achieving that perfect texture. If you prefer, you can also use coconut oil as a tasty alternative.
  • Eggs – Eggs bind everything together. For easy mixing, ensure your eggs are at room temperature. They’ll effortlessly combine with the melted butter, creating a smooth and creamy batter.
  • An 8×8-inch pan – The recipe is designed for an 8×8-inch pan, which results in thick and luxurious brownies. If you prefer using a larger pan, feel free to adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly.
These super easy to make keto brownies are low carb, fudgy and have a dense creamy texture that melts in your mouth.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers both the bottom and the sides. This will make it easier to remove the brownies later.
  • Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, combine the softened butter and dark chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 10-15 second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set it aside to cool slightly.
  • Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, and baking powder. Ensure that these dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  • Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them using an electric mixer until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Incorporate Butter and Chocolate Mixture: Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs. Continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Use a spatula or mixer on low speed to combine until you achieve a brownie batter consistency. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it out.
  • Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, starting to check at the 20-minute mark. You want the center to be slightly moist when touched, but not raw.
  • Cool: Once the brownies are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This helps them set.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into 16 equal pieces. Carefully lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Enjoy your delicious low-carb brownies!

how to make keto brownies step by step

Making The Brownie Batter

Start by melting together the chocolate and butter. This can be done using a double boiler or by microwaving them in short intervals, stirring until smooth and well combined.

In a separate bowl, crack the eggs. Using a mixer, beat the eggs for about 1 minute until they become slightly frothy.

Combine the dry ingredients, such as almond flour, cocoa powder, and your chosen sugar substitute. Mix them together until well incorporated.

Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture over the beaten eggs while using the mixer on low speed. Gradually add the dry ingredients, ensuring everything is well combined, and no lumps remain.

Baking Keto Brownies

Transfer the batter to a prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the brownies to cool slightly before cutting into squares. This will help them set and ensure a clean cut.

Delicious Add-in Ingredients

Take your low-carb brownies to the next level with some delicious add-in ingredients that will enhance their chocolatey, crunchy, and creamy goodness. Get creative and customize your treats with options like:

  • Crushed Nuts: Elevate the texture and add a delightful crunch by incorporating your favorite crushed nuts such as walnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, or almonds.
  • Fresh or Frozen Berries: Add a burst of fruity goodness by gently folding some fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries into the brownie batter.
  • Unsweetened Shredded Coconut: For a tropical twist, sprinkle some unsweetened shredded coconut over the brownie batter.
  • Peanut Butter – If you’re a peanut butter lover, swirl in dollops of creamy peanut butter into the batter before baking. This combination of chocolate and peanut butter is just irresistible.
  • Espresso Powder – For coffee lovers, a teaspoon of espresso powder can enhance the richness of the chocolate and add a subtle hint of espresso flavor.
  • Mint Extract – Give your brownies a refreshing twist by adding a few drops of mint extract to the batter. The combination of chocolate and mint is simply irresistible.

Carbs in Keto Brownies

Each generous of these keto fudgy brownies is incredibly low in carbs, with just 1.3g net carbs. To calculate net carbs, simply subtract the dietary fiber and sugar alcohols (the sweetener) from the total carb count.

You’ll find that each serving contains approximately 3g of carbs, 1g of dietary fiber, and a mere 2g of net carbs. With only 127 calories per serving, these brownies are a delightful treat that won’t derail your low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle.

How To Serve Keto Brownies

When it comes to serving the best keto fudgy brownies, there are plenty of delightful options to consider. Here are a few ideas:

  • Top with Keto Nutella: Spread a dollop of homemade keto Nutella over the top. The creamy and chocolatey goodness will take your brownies to new heights of indulgence.
  • Berries: Add a burst of freshness and natural sweetness by serving your keto brownies with a side of low-carb berries, such as juicy strawberries or tart raspberries.
  • Homemade Whipped Cream: Whip up a batch of homemade whipped cream using a keto-friendly sweetener, and generously dollop it on top of your warm or chilled keto brownies.
  • A Scoop of Keto Ice Cream: Treat yourself to a scoop of your favorite keto-friendly ice cream alongside your keto brownies. Whether it’s creamy vanilla, rich chocolate, or a unique flavor, the combination of warm brownies and cold, creamy ice cream is pure bliss.

Troubleshooting & Tips

Over time I’ve got plenty of questions and here are the answers that hopefully will solve any mystery!

It’s important to allow these brownies some extra time to slightly cool down before slicing. Using a warm knife helps for an easier and perfect cut with minimal crums.

Why Are My Brownies Gritty?

If your brownies have a gritty texture, it may be due to the almond flour. To achieve a smoother consistency, use super-fine blancehed almond flour and not almond meal.

Can You Replace Almond Flour with Coconut Flour?

While it is possible to substitute almond flour with coconut flour, I do not recommend doing so for this particular recipe.

Coconut flour has different properties compared to almond flour, as it absorbs liquid much more quickly. This can result in dry and crumbly brownies if not adjusted properly. To maintain the desired texture and achieve the best results, it’s best to stick with almond flour in this recipe.

However, if you’re looking for a coconut flour brownies recipe specifically designed for coconut flour, I have an alternative option that will provide delicious results.

Why Are My Brownies So Salty?

If you find that your brownies have turned out excessively salty, it may be due to using salted butter instead of unsalted butter. Salted butter contains added salt, and when used in a recipe that already includes salt, it can result in an overly salty taste. To avoid this, it’s best to use unsalted butter in your brownie recipe.

Can I Add Extra Ingredients To My Keto Brownies?

Yes, absolutely! Keto brownies are a versatile treat that can be customized to your liking. You can add delicious extras such as sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts (walnuts, macadamia, pecans, almonds), fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), unsweetened shredded coconut, or even peanut butter to enhance the flavor and texture of your brownies.

How to Store Low Carb Brownies?

  • Refrigerator – Store fudgy brownies for up to one week in the refrigerator. Reheat the brownies in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
  • Freezer – You can also freeze the brownies and eat them when craving a chocolatey dessert. Frozen brownies can be stored for up to 6 months. Just thaw them before serving!
  • Reheating – To enjoy keto brownies, reheat them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

  1. I prefer my brownies more cake-like in texture rather than fudgey. How can I achieve that using your recipe?

  2. In the video it says 1/4 cup cocoa powder. In the recipe written it says 1/2 cup. Which one is it?
    I made mine with the written recipe

      1. 5 stars
        Oh. My. Dear. Lord. I don’t believe in signs and have never baked by myself. Looked at your recipe tonight and thought I probably don’t have all or enough of all the ingredients. Weighed the butter on my counter: 171 g, only had a bit of almond flour left: 50 g, 2.2 oz of Lindt 99% and found an 8X8 inch pan at the back of a cupboard (brand new – left by previous tenants) that I don’t remember ever noticing. It came out so so so good! I wish I could share a picture!

    1. I just made these, I used 1/2 cup of Stevia instead (with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 70% dark chocolate). Those ratios produced a really good taste for me – not too sweet but not bitter

  3. A friend of mine is deathly allergic to casein, is there a substitute I can use for the butter without ruining the consistency of these or would I just need to add in a bit of gelatin or something to keep the brownies properly emulsified?

    1. Probably vege or coconut oil, I know a lot of box mix brownies use oil instead of butter would probably translate well to here.

      Probably any oil would work tbho.

    2. 5 stars
      I used coconut oil instead of butter. (1:1). 1/2 cup of Monk Fruit. They came out great.
      WARNING: Do not eat the whole 16 squares the same day, you will be tempted to do it!!!

      1. 5 stars
        I was pleasantly surprised by this brownie!!!
        Rich chocolate taste…Check.
        Moistness…Check.
        Comforting…Check.
        Try it, you’ll like it!!!

      1. Applesauce is not a keto-friendly substitute for carb free oil. Any Oil would be a better substitute for butter than applesauce for a recipe that is intended to be low carbohydrate. This recipe is not attempting to be a fat free recipe; why applesauce is often used instead of oils for “diet” recipes that are trying to minimize Fat consumption. We are trying to minimize Carbohydrate consumption, so applesauce would not be ideal.

  4. Everytime I make this, it just turns out so bitter. I tried with dutch processed cacao and just regular unsweetened cacao. Maybe I just have to go with less cacao ?

    1. Hello there! What sweetener are you using? Some sweeteners turn out bitter when cooked (stevia for example). Top it with a cream cheese frosting. It should taste better!

  5. What kind of Dark Chocolate did you use? I can't find low carb dark chocolate anywhere! It's all at least 17carbs/ a piece, so that'd be alot for 2 oz!

    1. This is a year later but thought I’d post for others as well. I found Lily’s Sweets Stevia Sweetened Dark Chocolate Chips at my local Sprouts Market.

  6. 5 stars
    Unbelievable! The best keto dessert I have made yey! The batter was fabulous omg just like the real thing . I did add a little extra dark choc chopped up and handful of pecans. I know it alters the macros a little next one I want to just swirl almond butter in it
    Thank m you for a yummy recipe

  7. 5 stars
    Just came out of the oven and have to say best brownies ever ! Turned out great but I had to bae 35 mins at e50 degrees for some reason.awesome

  8. These turned out amazing! I was looking for a good brownie recipe. The ones I’ve tried turn out like cake. I made another recipe right before this one today and threw it out. But This recipe is exactly what I was looking for. True to a regular brownie. Moist, fudgy and melts in your mouth. Thank you!!

  9. 5 stars
    I know you said not to substitute coconut flour, but we were blessed with nut allergies. I used the coconut flour and added 2 tbsp of heavy cream to the batter. They turned out so good.

    1. Hello Mellisa!
      I used Swerve Confectioners. There's a link showing you the exact product I used. Let me know how the brownie turned out!!

      1. I followed your recipe exactly and they’re pretty bitter. Don’t taste much like chocolate maybe it’s the dark chocolate I used??

  10. Im super confused I looked up all the ingredient and added the net carbs and it came out to Flour being 8, Coco powder being 8 and the erythritol being 108 added all that up and divide by 16 and got 7.75 net carbs lol. What am i missing here?

  11. Hi, I'm getting ready to pour the melted butter and chocolate into the beaten eggs and I'm wondering if it has to cool a bit first? Or is it okay to add it hot to the eggs?

      1. 5 stars
        Thank you, that's what I thought, so I waited. They are so delicious! What a boost they gave me, too. I'd been feeling low energy and these picked me up so I could work out. Next, I'm trying your bread recipe! As much as I'm enjoying cloud bread, I need a change. Thank you so much, Ioana!

    1. Just add a tiny bit at first to temper the eggs and mix as you do it, then a bit more and mix then you can add all of it.

    2. So I can’t seem to find Erythritol for some reason where I live, so I only have this Stevia Sweetener on hand. This particular kind is granulated, and on the packaging it says that 1 teaspoon of Stevia is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar. I am quite confused because research tells me that stevia is highly concentrated and I shouldn’t be using as much as like 1 cup to bake with but on the other hand my stevia package says that it is equivalent to sugar. Can I substitute erythritol for stevia? If so, how much should I use for my type of stevia?

  12. 5 stars
    I made these brownies and ate a couple of them already. They turned out really good and were better than the last recipe I tried. They are more like a real brownie and not as cakey as the last recipe I tried, although, I would like them to be even more chewy (I probably cooked a little too long;– 25 minutes I think) . But still,I will make these again for sure and thanks the recipe Ioana.

    1. Hello Eric! I think that these keto brownies are addictive or something. When I make the brownies, they don't even get to cool down completely. Everyone in my family loves them! I am super happy you liked them!

  13. Hey, Ioana! I currently have the swerve granulated in my pantry. Will the brownies still turn out or should I buy the confectioners?

  14. Will granulated swerve work in these? I am waiting on the confectioners swerve which is delayed from Amazon

      1. Yes I made This recipe today taste good but with 170g butter it was oozing out butter … it soaked out couple layers of towels! But super moist ! Thx

  15. This will be my first keto dessert recipe to try.Can I use Stevia in the raw as my sweetener? Will it make the brownies bitter? If so how much should I use?

    1. From the feedback we've got you're using stevia it will turn out bitter! I, personally never tried stevia in baked goods. Stick to erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.

  16. Hiya,

    New to Keto but don't get along too well with dairy – would it be possible to substitute the butter for coconut oil?

    Thanks

    Alia 🙂

    1. Hello Alia! I guess it should work well with coconut oil too, but I have never tried it. I think it would turn out slightly tasting like coconuts.

  17. 5 stars
    Absolutely delicious, I did cook for 6 minutes longer, could be my oven. But loved them. Took them to a friend's and they friends husband said he would eat these over regular brownies.

  18. Delicious, I used stevia because I was craving something kind of sweet, I just started my Keto diet 5 days ago, but they didn’t turn bitter at all, I use kroger brand stevia

  19. Cannot wait to try these! The last recipe I used were cake like and they fell apart. Thanks for the recipe and I’ll let you know how they turn out!

    1. Unfortunately, almond flour and coconut flour aren't 1:1 substituents. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid than almond flour, so you won't get fudgy brownies. I don't use stevia in the baked good, because it makes them bitter.

      1. I picked up that same blend because I’m so used to using truvia and i didn’t realize it was mixed with cane sugar! Woops! Guess they will still be healthier than regular brownies? They’re still in the oven right now but they smell delicious!

        1. They are still healthier and lower in carbs than regular brownies. If I remember correctly, Truvia with cane sugar has 4g in a serving (1 tsp) which is not that bad.

  20. 5 stars
    BEST recipe ever! I’ve been Keto for years and this FINALLY is the brownie I’ve been searching for!!!!! Thank you!
    I did add a 1/4 cup chocolate chips into the batter, they give a little gooey pop of delight.
    Thank you for putting this recipe together!

  21. 5 stars
    These brownies were a HIT! SO delicious! I do think the baking time should be modified. They were no where near done in 15 or even 20 minutes. It took about 32 minutes and they are JUST RIGHT. I did sub 2 oz nestle semi sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate, the macros stayed the same. Cut the pan into 12ths and there are just 3 net carb per brownie! THANK YOU!

    1. Hello Crystal. At the bottom of the post, you get the recipe card with all the ingredients, instructions, macros and even a video showing you how to make the keto brownies. You’ll need 3 eggs at room temperature.

  22. The butter I used pooled on the top of the brownies when I pulled them out of the oven. I had to dab it up with a paper towel. I used 12 tablespoons as directed. Have you heard of this happening before?

    1. From what I know it’s not butter it’s the cocoa butter from the dark chocolate. This usually happens when you overheat the dark chocolate when making the batter.

    1. Keep the brownies in an airtight container and they last for a week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze the brownies and eat when craving a chocolatey keto dessert.

  23. 5 stars
    Great tasting brownies! I cooked them a little longer because I like a cakier brownie and these are delicious

  24. Hi! Do you use salted butter? If I’m using a throw away aluminum pan, how much time should I adjust the baking? Thank you so much!

  25. Excellent! I usually avoid chocolate Keto desserts because I don’t love dark chocolate and it always tastes bitter. These were really good. I added a teaspoon of vanilla. Thank you!!

  26. These tasted good but I ended up having to cook them for about 45 min to get the center to not be “giggly” like pumpkin pie,
    What did I do wrong?

  27. 5 stars
    I have tried this recipe 4 times. The brownies always seemed a bit too cake like for me so the last time I used two eggs instead of three. This was perfect for making the texture more fusge-like and now I feel like I’m cheating!

  28. 5 stars
    I’ve avoided sweet treats since trying to reduce my carb intake (not doing strict Keto), but I was having a friend come for dinner this evening, and she has coeliac disease, and I needed a gluten free desert. I made this recipe with home-made, gluten free baking powder, and was amazed at how they turned out. We had them with cream, and I honestly couldn’t tell them from the ones I used to make with flour, and loads of sugar. Thanks for sharing this really great recipe – they went down a storm! Just a couple of things I noted – as you say, the eggs really do need to be at room temperature. Mine were, but it was pretty cold today, and they made the mix much stiffer, which I had to spread into the tin, rather than pour, as in the video. I also had to cook them for about 50 minutes, as every time I tested them, the middle felt really soft, almost liquid. In the end I took them out of the oven, ready or not, as the edges had started to look like they might burn. Pleased to say, the brownies didn’t sink, and firmed up as they cooled. I popped them in the freezer for 20 minutes once cool, which made them much easier to cut. I would make these over regular brownies any day!

  29. Ok, so I’m not an experienced baker by any means and had no idea what to expect with cooking with powdered stevia. Let’s just say that you can NOT substitute stevia in the same amount as the recipe calls for with erythritol. Oh my it was so gross I had to spit it out! Next time I won’t experience, and I will follow the recipe verbatim.

  30. 5 stars
    These are SO good! I added a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Turned out so fudgy. Exactly what I was hoping for. They were gone the second they cooled off and were cut! Family loved them. Thank you for this recipe!

  31. 5 stars
    Just made these and added unsweetened coconut flakes and a little chopped almonds. Almost didn't make it to the oven because the batter was delicious. The brownies turned out better than the batter! These are unbelievable!!!!
    Thanks so much for the recipe.

  32. Great recipe! I used Swerve granulated and they were delicious. One question though – you say less than 2 carbs per brownie but in the nutritional facts it says 4g per brownie. What’s accurate?

    1. I am glad you liked the recipe, Christine! The nutrition facts show the total carbs and the text the net carbs. They are both correct. Just subtract the fiber from the total carbohydrates to find out the net carbs (carbs used by our bodies)

    2. 5 stars
      Thank you so much for this! Mine took at least 35 minutes but they were worth the wait. Even my husband and kids loves them! Here is to hoping there are any left in the morning

  33. Question: do you have to refrigerate these after they cool? Excited to try them but don’t want them to spoil overnight . Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi there Katie. I keep them at room temperature overnight, if they last that long. Everyone in my family loves them. If you want to keep them for longer, refrigerate the keto brownies for up to a week.

  34. 5 stars
    Omg!!!!! These are THE BEST by far. Like many others i have tried various keto brownies recipes and none is even close to this one!!!!! Its simple but yet so sophisticated. I think i am in love…well my boys are anyway… thanks a million!!!!!! I would give it a million starts if i could.

  35. 4 stars
    Flavor was delicious. My were a little liquid in the middle so I cooked them longer but the brownies were so fluffy and airy and fell apart easily. I wonder if it was beaten too long. Oh will keep experimenting but good taste.

  36. 5 stars
    All responses I've read are excellent and very helpful. Can you substitute avocado for the butter. I'm just curious?

  37. I tried making these tonight and I followed the recipe exactly and it was a thick consistency like I just whipped heavy whipping cream what did I do wrong?

  38. I can’t Figure out what I’m doing wrong! two attempts and both failures. I get brownie batter texture with about 1/4-1/2 cup of unevenly mixed dry mix left.

  39. Hi
    Can i use truvia? I know it wont be keto but that is all i have on hand right now….and how much do i use? Same amount in recipe???

    1. You need to use chocolate because it has cocoa butter in it and makes this keto brownie fudgy and delicious. Probably if you add 2 more tablespoons of butter and adjust the liquids, you can use cocoa. Cocoa powder as coconut flour cocoa tends to absorb liquids so if the ratio is not right you’ll end up with a very dry brownie. I have this coconut flour brownie recipe on my blog with coconut flour and cocoa powder

  40. I’m having to bake these for more like 30-40 mins – at 20 they were literally still liquid in the center!? Followed the recipe exactly and felt like the butter/cocoa ratio was a bit much/thin but idk

  41. Hi! First timer to your blog. Was gathering up recipes for best keto brownies, and yours came up quickly (excited to try it). Just wanted to mention, for those who have been experiencing dryness or brownies breaking up, that on another blog, it was recommended NOT to “overmix” or it would come out dry. Also, I would make sure your baking powder is fresh; old powder has spoiled many an otherwise “perfect” recipe.

  42. 5 stars
    I found a sweetener conversion chart and used 1/2 cup of Pyure all purpose blend in place of the 3/4 cup erythritol. They turned out great Although I had to bake them around 35 mins. They were kinda jiggly after 25.

    1. My guess is that either your eggs were smaller or not at room temp. This are two main causes of why your batter was so thick. In any case, you can simply add some warm unsweetened coconut or almond milk to get the desired texture.

  43. I have no idea what happened. I followed the recipe exactly except cut back a tiny bit on sugar b/c I used lilys dark choc with stevia. I watched the video and my batter was much thicker than the video. Was it b/c i used lilys dark chocolate with stevia fort the dark chocolate? Then it took way longer to bake. They were still liquid at 15 minutes. The texture is strange and not good at all. I wish I had a better report. Would love to hear if anyone else used Lily’s with stevia.

In any case, you can simply add some warm unsweetened coconut or almond milk to get the desired texture. I’m not a fan of stevia-sweetened products as they always get bitter when baked (at least in my case).

  44. Hi Ioana,

    Thanks for this recipe it looks great!

    I have few concerns for the sweetener I’m going to use which is Steviasweet Crystal (Stevia & Erythritol). Apparently 1/2 cup of Steviasweet crytal is equvilant to 1 cup of normal sugar. Do you have an idea how much of this sweetener I should be using in this case? It’s my first time backing with sweeteners and that’s the one I got at the moment.

    Thanks
    B.

  45. Hi! Very good brownies! Wonder if I could bake them in a muffin pan next time have you tried that? Took around 35 minutes to fully bake but oh my they were delicious! My family and I are definitely going to be having these as a no sugar dessert! I have lost 38 pounds on low carb no sugar and this really quenched my chocolate craving!

    1. Congratulations on your progress, Sherri! That’s fantastic. I haven’t tried making them in a muffin pan, but it’s definitely possible. They will probably bake quicker. Just keep an eye on them.

    Made these tonight and they were delicious!! I used granulated swerve for my sweetner. I will definitely be making them again. Thanks for the recipe and satisfying my sweet tooth!

  47. Thank you for the recipe! I had to bake them an extra 10 minutes but they are my new favorite keto dessert! Did you by chance enter this into myfitnesspal to get your carb amount and what not? No matter how I enter it, I’m not getting the same numbers. I was just wondering if you could show what it looks like on myfitnesspal? Thanks.

  48. I just got done making the batter and it’s super runny and soupy. I followed everything. What can I do???

  49. 4 stars
    I accidentally put an extra 4 Tbsp of butter in this brownie batter and they still turned perfectly gooey and amazing!

  50. 5 stars
    AMAZEBALLS!!! Thank you! I live in Tahoe so I worry about high altitude adjustments. None were needed! I like them cakey so I left them in for 25 – 30 minutes. They are moist, amazing, totally satisfied my hankering for sweet.

  51. I made this and they are so fudgy! YUM! I made ganache to top them,because my Grands are coming later. Chocolate overload. Thanks for the recipe.

  52. So I made the brownies after 20 minutes in the oven the center was really loose still so I put them in for another 7 minutes what should the center be like?

  53. I just attempting to make these brownies but I think I did something wrong. I did the butter,almond flour,eggs,unsweetened dark cocoa powder,2oz baker unsweetened dark chocolate,swerve sugar,and baking powder.

      1. The browinies were absolutely divine to be keto! I had to stop myself from eating so many(major chocolate fan)!

        So I used milk chocolate instead(all I had at time)-is that okay or should I stick with dark?

  54. I just made these and i let them bake for about 25 mins and they were still really jiggly. I tried to cut into them and they were barely cooked. They are back in the oven now. Why are they coming out so wet?

  55. 5 stars
    I made these for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this recipe is. This recipe was super easy to make and turned out perfect. Thank you for sharing!

  56. 5 stars
    Omg these were amazing! I had mine with some double cream poured over the top. I used xylitol in mine instead and it tasted fab.

  57. The written recipe doesn’t say how many eggs. Also the cocoa powder amount is different. Mine are in the oven now, I guess I will see how they turn out. My batter didn’t look anything like this. I am hoping for the best.

    1. At the end of the post, you have the keto brownies recipe card will all the measurements and ingredients 🙂 hope this helps

  58. Nevermind I just read the comment above. lol. Can’t wait to make these…i’ve been craving brownies!

  59. 5 stars
    I tried this recipe and I am really happy that I did. I used lakanto powdered sweetener. I did add a splash of vanilla. I also used a Sam’s Choice 90% chocolate bar, which only has 1 net carb per serving, so I was not stressing the difference. I spoon all of my dry ingredients into the measuring cups (as you should). They baked for 23 minutes and came out delicious. They don’t look as Fudgy as the photo here, but they have good dense consistency, and amazing flavor. These taste the closest to the real thing for me than anything else that I have tried on my journey to reversing my prediabetes.

  60. 5 stars
    Mouth watering brownies! I was skeptical about making KETO brownies but the reviews sold me. I followed your recipe and they turned out AMAZING! Will definitely be making these often! Thanks!!

  61. I made the fudge brownies and they turned out extremely salty. What happened ? Did I do something wrong ?

  62. Just made these and they are amazing!! I had to cook mine for 35mins but they are sooooo good! Thank you for the share they gonna get me thru some struggles!
    Quick & Easy & Delicious

  63. You saved my KETO diet. These were amazing. Made them exactly as you wrote and needed about 10 extra minutes (total time 25 mins) and they came out perfect.
    Thank you!

  64. 5 stars
    Omg, I am loving these brownies, they are little sweet so next batch I will decrease the stevia just a little. They were fudgy and moist. I will rave about these for a long time.

  65. Hi, I wanted to ask what can I use instead of erythritol and monk fruit sweetners because I don’t have them in my area only stevia powdered sweetner would I be able to use it???

    1. I don’t like to Stevia in my keto brownies, but if you scroll through the comments, people had good results using stevia instead of erythritol.

  66. 5 stars
    Thank you so much for this recipe, the BEST brownies I’ve ever had (even better than regular brownies). I am soooo in love and the wife loves them as well. I used a little bit of coconut oil in addition to the 1 1/2 sticks of butter and the brownies were SO moist. As a matter of fact, they were even better the second day! I also used monkfruit granular sweetener instead of erythritol and dusted them with it as soon as they came out of the oven. This is a go to keto sweets recipe for me, thanks again!!!!

  67. Thanks for this recipe. I baked mine in a muffin pan with liners. I added a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla. They’re so delicious.I can’t thank you enough. So simple and so delicious! As long as I can have great desserts like this I have no need to look for anything else. Again Thanks!

  68. 5 stars
    Just came out of the oven. I waited a few minute, then cut me a piece . They are wonderful. Next time I am adding pecans. I bet these will also be delicious with Rebel’s butter pecan ice cream.

  69. They turned out way wayyyy too sweet, but thats maybe a personal taste? The dark chocolate was also only 81% bitter, may it also be from that?

    The consistency was actually quite good, from that I will definitely cook these again but with less Erythritol and a higher precentage Dark Chocolate.

    Thank you.

    1. It’s probably a matter of preference. Some people report back that it’s not sweet for their taste. Have you used pure erythritol or a mix with monk fruit/stevia?

  70. Brownies have been in the oven for 13 min and the pan is very jiggly. What’s wrong? I double checked the recipe.

  71. These were so yummy & easy to make! Thanks for the recipe. I used Xylitol instead of Erythritol tho because that what I had on hand. My husband loved them.

    1. At the bottom of this post, you have a recipe card that tells you all the ingredients and detailed instructions to make these delicious keto brownies.

      1. I confused and just need some clarification on how many carbs are in 1 brownie. The header says two but the nutrition card on the recipe basically cancels out… could you please help clarify? (I’m new to this)

        1. Depending on the ingredients used, a serving of these keto brownies is just under 2g net carbs. We’re having some issues with the nutrition facts label in the recipe card. You can always use an online calculator to calculate macros for your specific ingredients, just to be sure!

  72. My first time making a Keto dessert it got really great I was a little nervous the batter was a little thick but everything came out all right thank you for a wonderful brownie recipe

  73. 5 stars
    OMG, I just took these delicious brownies out of the oven, they are fantastic. I did use good dark chocolate cocoa powder and dark chocolate. I know I will be making these again this fall and winter.

  74. This may seem like a silly question, but do I have to use dark cocoa powder? I have unsweetened cocoa powder, and would prefer to not spend the extra money…

  75. Tried this recipe today… OMG it turned out amazing. I actually reduced the erythrol by a 1/4 cup and used Giradalli dark cooking choc. Just loved loved it. Thank you… Doubled the recipe.

  76. 5 stars
    Fantastic brownies! My whole family loved them. I used Swerve powdered sugar. I added some dark chocolate chips too. Will make them again soon! Thanks!

  77. I accidentally used salted butter and this recipe still turned out amazing. (Although I will be sure to use unsalted next time around) I will say that I used quality dark chocolate and melted it using a double boiler. Also, all I had on hand was powdered stevia, which I worried would be too sweet but it wasn’t. More cake like, then fudgy but totally satisfied my brownie craving. Thanks so much for the recipe!

  78. Mine are in he oven now but question….when I finished mixing it the batter was not liquid like yours, it was considerably thicker. I spread it out in the pan and just checked at the 15 minute mark and it’s quite jiggly. I’ll leave it for the 5 more minutes and see. Any ideas? I weigh all ingredients instead of measuring to be as precise as possible.

    1. The eggs you used were probably larger. That’s the problem in most cases. You can always add 1-2tbsp more almond flour. Also, you should adapt the baking time because all the ovens are different. Let me know how it turned out!!

      1. 5 stars
        Took them out at 20 minutes and they were amazing!!!! Next time I make them I won’t refrigerate them after cooling. They got hard but nothing a few seconds in the microwave didn’t fix lol. Great recipe!!!!

  79. 5 stars
    I was worried about them being baked completely so my brownies were more cake-like than fudgy. Still delicious and I will under bake them per the directions.

  80. 5 stars
    Brilliantly easy. Best keto brownie recipe I’ve tried – consistency is actually properly fudgey and sticky, rather than torte-like (which a lot of keto brownie alternatives end up like). If you can find erythritol, replace with 1/2 cup of Stevia. I used 70% dark chocolate so the brownies weren’t too rich/bitter.

  81. I followed your recipe and baked for 25 minutes and they are so delicious! My husband ate 2 servings because he loved the taste. I was able to eat one serving and felt completely satisfied with my dessert. I’m looking forward to eating one tomorrow to see what day 2 texture is like.

  82. Can you please put on this that it’s powdered sweetener. I didn’t know until I just clicked on Your recipe Product link. And saw a comment about it. I’ve been using granular and was wondering why it never looked pretty or tasted right. I’m trying it with powdered tonight.

  83. Hi,
    The recipe looks delish-I am going to try it.
    However, I wanted to bring to your attention some spelling/grammar errors in your article.
    -“you’ll never bo bake to baking regular brownies.” I tried to decipher and I believe you meant to say go back, not bo bake which makes zero sense.
    -“I recommend using unsalted butter because it will over powder the rest of the ingredients and make it incredibly salty.” I believe you meant “over power”, not powder.
    I know no one is perfect, especially myself. I would appreciate others alerting me to errors if I had a blog. Professionalism is very important.

    1. I really appreciate you took the time to help. It’s extremely helpful for me to get this kind of review especially because English is not my first language. I guess I’m making tons of grammar errors too, but I’m willing to learn and become better.

  84. Ioana
    Thank you for the great recipe
    I wanted to eliminate the sugar part
    But they turned out veryyy bitter
    Can we add only one table spoon of erythritol and get the same consistency as yours? Does the sugar affect anything rather than the taste?

    1. You add the sweetener for the sweetness, not for the texture. If it turned out bitter maybe you could reduce the cocoa powder and add a few drops of stevia. But you can’t reduce the sweetener completely.

  85. 5 stars
    I made these last week, exactly as per your recipe. They were lovely!
    This week, I swapped the butter for coconut oil, added chopped pecans and reduced the sweetener by a third.
    Amazing! No funny after-taste from sweetener or that cold feel in your mouth.

  86. When would be a good time during the recipe to add peanut butter? And do you recommend creamy or crunchy? I’m making this for a keto friend.

    1. I’d make some peanut butter swirls on top, just after you pour the batter into the baking pan. You can use any peanut butter you love. Yum!

  87. 5 stars
    As a newbie to keto I was very nervous this would not work out, but by some sort of miracle they did. They are delicious. They obviously don’t taste like a full sugar, full flour brownie, but they’re amazing!

  88. This looks so yummy!!

    i want to ask something, it’s 3 egg but in the picture it seem like 2 small and 1 large egg. Does it matter?

    1. I used large eggs. I am not sure why they look different in that photo. Just make sure your brownie batter has the consistency shown in the video!

  89. I think I did something wrong. Mine turned out bitter with an overly sweet after taste and the texture was HORRIBLE! The only change to the recipe that I made was using stevia, someone said that they used half a cup of Stevia instead of the erythritol because it is cheaper and I’m a college kid :/

    Any suggestions?

    1. It’s the stevia. I don’t recommend using it in baked goods. Depending on the brand it makes everything so bitter and unpleasant. I’m sorry you experienced this 🙁

  90. It says 2 net carbs but when I put it into a food calculator it says it’s around 9. I even double checked all the measurements for 1/16 of a brownie

  91. Love this recipe!! Its so easy! I added 1/2 tsp of salt for balance, 1 tsp of vanilla and a handful of walnuts. YUM!

    I made these last night. They are phenomenal for the macros. A few notes to make, because of grocery store limitations I had to make some substitutes:

    First, my target didn’t have Swerve or really any direct xylitol or erythritol. I had Truvia at home already since that’s my go to coffee sweetener. I had read in other comments that stevia sweeteners make the brownies bitter. Truvia is a blend of stevia and erythritol, so I used it sparingly in the batter to taste before hand. After baking I don’t seem to notice any particularly awful bitterness aside from the fact that these are very much “dark chocolate” brownies.

    Next, they had no baking chocolate between 60% cacao or 100% completely unsweetened cacao. I wanted SOME sweet in my chocolate choice so I chose both, and did 1oz each. This basically doubled my carb count for each piece; however for such a great fudgy keto brownie alternative, it’s very worth it.

    A lot of comments say you need to bake them for 30+ minutes for them to bake, but because I had a 9×9 inch pie pan instead of an 8×8 square pan, they were thinner when spread in the pan and because of this I had the opposite problem; my brownies were very baked and cake like in 15 minutes. I’m not too picky about brownie texture but I thought it interesting to note. I now also have 16 triangular brownie slices and not 16 brownie squares, haha.

    TL;DR these are very much “dark chocolate” brownies meaning they are certainly not as sweetly indulgent as flour/sugar brownies, but they kill a sweet tooth fix in a heartbeat. The excess butter you use definitely adds to the melty-warm moisture a normal brownie gives you. Highly recommended.

  94. 5 stars
    I got to say, I’M IMPRESSED!!! with this recipe. They turn out to be good and fudgy, chocolatey, delicious. Only thing missing was a tiny ball of vanilla ice cream. Is hard to find a good keto dessert recipe and this is reeeeeally gooood 🙂

    Followed the recipe exact and the results were delicious. I have been baking keto/low carb desserts for over 3 years now and this is by far one of the best brownie recipes to date.

    Simple enough to make and turned out great. Made it with walnuts. Not too sweet, which is exactly what I love about it. Thank you for the receipt and guidance

  99. 5 stars
    Loved these! Only did 1/2 cup Monkfruit sweetener because I find it sweeter than sugar. Used unsweetened baking chocolate. Sprinkled with walnuts. So good!

  100. These are delicious and fudgy, but they fall apart. What am I missing? I used xylitol, but everything else was the same and I had to cook them longer because they were jiggly still at 20 mins.

  101. I’ve read that adding espresso powder enhances the flavor of the chocolate. Would you recommend trying this and how much would you add?

  102. One year later and I’m still making this recipe constantly! I put unsalted peanuts into the food processor and chopped them fine for the added crunch and also added two tablespoons of peanut butter and wowwwww these are always a winner. Thanks for the deliciousness!

  103. So if I make these with salted butter will they be gross? I’m craving chocolate and I don’t want to go to the store for unsalted butter. :/ Thanks!

    1. Jessica-

      I used salter butter and they tasted just fine to me. Not salty at all. That was all I had at home when my chocolate craving hit.

  104. 5 stars
    These are great keto brownies! The only thing I will change in the future is using half Swerve and half Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (found on Amazon) for the sweetener.

    This was recommended to me by a co-worker who has done keto for over a year to reduce the noticeable aftertaste of the Swerve. Otherwise these were properly fudgy and chocolate-y!! Def. worth a try if you are craving chocolate while on keto!

  105. I followed the recipe exactly and my batter turned into a thick whip. Like brownie moose! Should I not have used all of the dry ingredients? I am not a baker AT ALL so I have no idea what adjustments to make! I’m so sad I may have wasted tons of ingredients.

    1. Add a splash of unsweetened almond milk until you get the right consistency. It’s possible that your eggs were smaller or not at room temperature. Please let me know how it turned out!

  106. I made these today and they are delicious. Very moist and no after taste. It did take much longer to bake then 20 minutes but I live in Denver. Would the high altitude have made the difference?

  107. 5 stars
    These are INCREDIBLE. Best keto dessert I’ve made. The texture is perfect, I swapped out erythritol for granulated Swerve (same quantity) and no weird aftertaste or ‘fake’ sugar taste at all. Perfect!

    Definitely needed to bake mine closer to 30 minutes, but WORTH THE WAIT. Thank you for this amazing recipe!

  108. 5 stars
    Let’s be honest, keto is awesome to loose weight and gain healthy habits… but keto pastry and dessert substitutes suck most pf the time. Not this recipe! I was very skeptical at first but decided to give it a go, these brownies are AMAZING and taste like the real deal. This has become our go to dessert when we are craving a decadent chocolate treat.

    1. I test all the recipes (multiple times) before I share them on my blog. I make sure to give all the details, so you can make my recipes and actually eat them with pleasure. I’m so glad you like my keto brownies recipe.

    O my! Lol Made it yesterday, got some bites right after the oven- so good and right now after the night at the fridge. I’m in a heaven! Lol Moist, chocolate reach, fudgey and I believe that I found the best ever brownie! Thank you!

  110. 15-20 minutes is not possible. We had them in the oven for 25, and they weren’t even begun to be cooked. It’s more like 40-45 minutes.

  111. 5 stars
    I don’t normally comment on recipes, but after my fourth time coming back to your site to make these brownies, I had to comment.

    This is my go-to keto dessert! I LOVE them! They are perfect as-is, but sometimes I have to mix it up depending on what ingredients I have on hand. I’ve used Lily’s chocolate before and plain old unsweetened bakers chocolate. Today I didn’t have enough almond flour and had to swap for hazelnut flour (which I found on sale)–still tasted great!

    I make a double-batch, pre-slice them into the serving size, and then take one from the freezer when I need something sweet…usually don’t even wait for them to thaw because I just can’t lol.

    Thank you SO much for this recipe!

    1. I so happy you’ve found the perfect dessert for you! Your comment is too kind and I want to thank you!

  112. 5 stars
    Amaze-balls! Delicious and super easy.
    Going to fold in some chopped walnuts next time for some healthy fats 😉

  113. These were really good! Most keto sweets are not so good but I will def make these again! Thanks for sharing!!

    1. Your eggs were probably too cool which causes the butter to solidify. It will bake perfectly, so no worries. How did it turn out?

  114. 5 stars
    Turned out a little gritty like maybe the Swerve didn’t dissolve fully but were still awesome. I put a layer of peanut butter on, topped with sugar free whipped cream then drizzled with sugar free chocolate syrup- Decadent !

  115. I sifted the almond flour and cocoa powder. I added 1 tsp heavy cream and 1 tsp Xanthan gum. And I cooked them until the top was closest to non-jiggly (about 10 mins more maybe) I thought the brownies were still a little bitter for my liking so I made a very thin layer of frosting for the top (swerve confectioners, cocoa powder, butter, and heavy cream) They were absolutely amazing and just how I like them!!My coworkers could not believe they were low carb. I felt guilt eating them! Carb count went up slightly but who cares when they are so incredibly close to the real deal. I’m loving keto so far!

  116. Hi, 12 Tbs of butter seem like an awful lot of butter is there a real need for so much butter?
    Will the recipe be also successful with half the amount or a bit less butter?
    I have actualy watched the very same recipe been demonstrated on youtube and while the title was for 12 Tbs of Butter,I could clearly see in the clip that the bowl had contained far LESS then 12 Tbs of butter.
    That leaves me baffled
    Plz advise
    Thank you

    1. 12 tbsp of butter equals about 170g(3/4 cup), so it’s not that much. They taste insanely rich and delicious!!

  117. I have made this recipe twice and the batter gets really thick. How do I stop it from doing that? I want a brownie batter consistency and it’s not working.

    1. Make sure you’re using room temperature eggs; this will prevent the batter from getting too thick. What sweetener are you using? Are they baking ok, even that the batter texture is different?

  118. 5 stars
    I was so pleased with these. I added some vanilla and used granulated monk fruit. Definitely a hit. My super non keto hubby even loved them!

  119. 5 stars
    Have just made these for my son’s girlfriend as she has flu – they cheered her up no end. Will definitely be making more thank you for the recipe.

  120. 4 stars
    I’m new to keto and came across this recipe. I cooked them a little bit longer than instructed but now I wish I had stuck to the 20 minutes. They turned out to be light and fluffy and more like a cake. The consistency of the batter I used was a lot thicker than yours, why would this have happened? I’ll definitely be making them again to satisfy my sweet tooth.

  121. I had Meade keto brownies before off from somewhere else but I could taste the almond flour, like grainy , does this one do that also ?

    1. It really depends on the almond flour you’re using. Make sure to get the blanched super fine almond flour. This recipe usually gets only great reviews. If you try it, let me know how it turned out!

    1. In this recipe, you can’t replace almond flour with coconut flour, but you can try my keto coconut flour brownies recipe. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

  122. 5 stars
    This is my go-to keto brownie recipe. I followed most of the instructions. I used a lot less butter than indicated on the instruction. I also used baking soda cause I didn’t have baking powder. I added about 1 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter to the wet mix. I also added some chocolate chips on top prior to baking. I baked it at 350 for 24 mins. It turned out almost perfect. Next time I’ll bake it for 22 mins. It was moist and fluffy. The only item missing was chocolate frosting on top. I will.add this to it next time. I reheated them the next morning, they were still moist and fluffy. I couldn’t stop eating them with my coffee, OMG!! This is a keeper! THANK YOU!

  123. Looking to make these, and unsure which cocoa powder to use? Also, can I use salted butter or does it have to be unsalted?

    1. Any unsweetened cocoa powder will work. I usually use unsalted butter when making keto desserts. Hope this helps and you’ll try the recipe.

  124. I am totally confused about your carb/net carb count. I see 3 different carb/net carb counts in 3 different places. Can you please clarify this for me? I am 2 weeks into keto and trying to find recipes for sweets to keep me on track with 20-25 total net carbs for the day.

    Thanks!

    1. These keto brownies have around 2g net carbs per square. Depending on the ingredients used the carb count may vary greatly, so I suggest using a macro calculator and calculating the macros for each recipe. While I try my best to provide accurate nutrition facts for each recipe, there may be errors on the blog, don’t rely 100% on those numbers. Hope this helps and keep up the good work!

  125. Ioanna

    Needed a dessert that would satisfy my sweet tooth and this recipe hit the mark. Very light and great flavor. The only change I made was to add 2 oz of dairy fudge to the recipe. It didn’t blend in with the butter as well as a dark chocolate would but it worked in a pinch.

  126. Can you replace the granulated sugar with honey or maple syrup? And what kind of ratio would you use, if so? Thanks!

    1. I haven’t tried it, but you can use the same amount of brown sugar if you’re not worried about the carb count.

  127. 4 stars
    These are good and are the closest I’ve found so far to brownies. However I was disappointed to see that it wasn’t 3g of carbs when I entered my ingredients into Carb Manager. I’m not sure what sugar or flour was used, but my when I calculated the ingredients (almond flour 6g per 1/4 c and Monkfruit with Erythritol is is 8g per 2 teaspoons), I get 12 g of carbs per serving (16 servings). Just wanted to let others know and find out which ingredients I should get for lower numbers.

    1. Thank you for sharing your experience with the recipe and for letting others know about your calculations. When it comes to counting carbs, sugar alcohols are often subtracted from the total carb count of a food or beverage. This is because they are not fully absorbed by the body and therefore have a lower impact on blood sugar levels. For example, erythritol is a sugar alcohol that can be subtracted from the total carb count, as it has a very low glycemic index and is not fully metabolized by the body. Therefore, you should subtract that 8 g of carbs from the total carb count to get the net carbs for a serving of these keto brownies. It’s always a good idea to double-check the nutritional information of a recipe and calculate the macros yourself to ensure that it fits within your dietary goals.

    1. Chocolate plays a crucial role in achieving the rich, fudgy quality of the brownies, and its removal could lead to less satisfactory results. For those seeking to avoid chocolate, it might be more beneficial to look for an alternative recipe tailored to such preferences from the start.

  128. 5 stars
    WOW! I honestly can’t tell it’s keto. The “wang” you get from the artificial sweetener is not detectable in this recipe. At all. I didn’t mind the almond flour being slightly gritty because of the almonds, I threw a hand full of chopped pecans and it all blended well together. I cut back on the sweetener so it wouldn’t be overwhelmingly sweet.
    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
