Description

These Best Fudgy Keto Brownies offer a rich, chocolatey treat that’s perfect for anyone following a low-carb or keto lifestyle. Made with almond flour and sugar-free sweeteners, these brownies are dense, moist, and satisfyingly fudgy without the guilt of traditional sugar and flour.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasonings.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the melted butter, erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, uniform batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips to add bursts of melty, fudgy chocolate.
  6. Prepare for baking: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula for even cooking.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan so they set well before slicing into 16 squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan and minimal mess.
  • Don’t overbake; fudgy brownies will have moist crumbs on the toothpick rather than being completely clean.
  • Substitute erythritol with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener, but adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For extra richness, add a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
