Ingredients for the Best Keto Brownies

(Measurements make 12 servings; adjust as needed.)

Ingredient	Quantity	Why It Works
Almond flour	1 cup	Low-carb, nutty base (avoid coconut flour here—it dries out).
Unsweetened cocoa powder	½ cup	Use Dutch-processed for deeper flavor.
Powdered erythritol (or monk fruit blend)	¾ cup	Dissolves better than granular; no aftertaste.
Butter (melted)	½ cup	Adds richness; substitute coconut oil for dairy-free.
Eggs	3 large	Binds ingredients; ensures chewiness.
Vanilla extract	1 tsp	Enhances chocolate flavor.
Sugar-free chocolate chips	¼ cup	Optional, but highly recommended for gooey pockets.

Pro Tip: For extra fudginess, add 1 tbsp MCT oil or swap 1 egg with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (adds 1g net carb per serving).

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Oven & Pan

• Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
• Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper (or grease well).

2. Whisk Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine:

• 1 cup almond flour
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ¾ cup powdered erythritol
• ½ tsp salt

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

• Melt ½ cup butter, then whisk in:
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

4. Combine & Bake

• Pour wet ingredients into dry, stirring until just combined (overmixing = cakey texture).
• Fold in ¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips.
• Spread batter into the pan and bake 20-25 minutes (a toothpick should come out mostly clean).

5. Cool & Slice

• Let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.
• Cut into 12 squares—they firm up as they cool.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Brownies are crumbly.
Fix: Too much almond flour—measure by weight (112g per cup) or add 1 tbsp cream.

Problem: Bitter aftertaste.
Fix: Your cocoa powder might be low-quality. Try Guittard or Ghirardelli.

Problem: Sticks to the pan.
Fix: Always use parchment paper or grease thoroughly with butter.

FAQs About Keto Brownies

1. Can I use coconut flour instead?

Not recommended—it’s too absorbent. Stick with almond flour or try a blend of ¼ cup coconut flour + extra eggs/oil.

2. Why did my brownies turn out dry?

Overbaking is the #1 culprit. Pull them out when the center is slightly jiggly.

3. How long do they keep?

• Room temp: 3 days (covered).
• Fridge: 1 week.
• Freezer: 2 months (wrap tightly).

4. Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes! Swap butter for coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.

5. What’s the best sugar-free chocolate for baking?

Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips or ChocZero melt beautifully without carbs.
