World’s Best Keto Brownies

Lazy Girl Tips ♕

Who says you can’t eat brownies when you’re on the keto diet?! These keto brownies are the best. I’ve gone through test batch after test batch trying to find the perfect keto brownie recipe. Until I made these Keto Brownies. Finally.

I’m not exaggerating when I say these are the World’s Best Keto Brownies because they certainly are. I’ve tested this recipe over a dozen times and made loads of batches until I finally found the BEST version.

What makes them so incredible is that they are fudgy and dense, just as every brownie should be! It’s a hard task getting them to come out fudgy and moist, but we did it!

I also added some peanut butter, which will help deliver healthy fats and a nice nutty flavor.

World's Best Keto Brownies recipe.

These super easy-to-make keto brownies are super low in carbs, fudgy, and have a dense and creamy texture that melts in your mouth. Made with lots of chocolate and other real food ingredients, yum!

The awesome thing about this brownie recipe is that it only uses a small amount of coconut flour to hold together the overwhelming amount of chocolate fudge flavor!

Brownies don’t use a lot of flour normally, so making a keto version is not that different than making regular brownies and the final outcome is pretty similar too.

They taste like really delicious fudgy brownies and I don’t think many people would be able to even tell they are low carb and keto-friendly.

In less than 40 minutes you have the perfect keto brownies that are the ideal company for a cup of keto coffee or your favorite tea.

Sugar Substitute for Keto Brownies


Baking with sugar substitutes and sugar-free chocolate is a little bit of a learning curve. Here are some tips you should read through before making this recipe.

It is important is to make sure you use confectioners rather than granular ones. Granular sugar works for traditional brownies, but because erythritol does not melt as well as granular sugar, you need the powdered version in these brownies or else it won’t melt into the batter.

 

Sugar-Free Chocolate


The chocolate flavor in these brownies is a combination of cocoa powder and chocolate chunks. I don’t recommend leaving out the chocolate chunks because the brownies will be missing half of their chocolate flavor.

 

Tips for Making Brownies


  • Make sure to use slightly warmed eggs. Cold eggs will cause the melted butter to harden and it will become very difficult to mix. Warmed eggs will melt into the batter and keep it liquid.
  • I prefer to bake brownies in a light metal nonstick pan. Darker metal pans tend to cook the edges of the brownies too soon and glass pans tend to cook the brownies slower.
  • Let the brownies sit for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Yield: 16
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

These keto brownies are the best. I've gone through test batch after test batch trying to find the perfect keto brownie recipe. Until I made these World`s Best Keto Brownies. Finally!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural creamy almond butter, I use this brand
  • ⅔ cup powdered erythritol, I use this brand
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp no sugar added peanut butter powder, I use this brand
  • 1 tbsp of coconut flour
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp butter, ghee or coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp of water
  • 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract, I use this brand
  • ½ tsp of baking powder
  • ¼ tsp fine salt
  • ½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips, I use this brand

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan. Alternately you can line it with parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, erythritol, cocoa powder, coconut flour, peanut butter powder, eggs, butter, water, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder. Using an electric hand mixer, mix until all ingredients are well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still a little soft to the touch. Start checking at the 15-minute mark.
  5. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Cut into 16 squares.

These are amazing for keto brownies! I agree that macros don’t match up with what is given. I did calculations and got 6.5 net carbs for each slice. Most carbs came from the creamy almond butter. I noticed there is added sugar in my almond butter. Can you buy almond butter with no added sugar? That would help a lot with the carb count. Still, at 6.5g carbs, it’s worth it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

There is no sugar almond butter! My local health food store has some you can grind up yourself that’s just ground almonds ! Or there is some brands with no sugar added you can get on amazon or some stores. The more popular almond butters, like Justin’s has a decent ant of sugar added tho 🙁

Can you use swerve instead of erythritol? Same measurements or different?

Swerve is mostly erythritol, but also has oligosaccharides added. … The addition of these helps make Swerve the same level of sweetness as sugar, whereas pure erythritol is 70% as sweet as sugar. So if you want to use Swerve you might want to reduce amount of sweetener in the recipe 😉

Reply to  Julie

You can use almond flour as a replacement for coconut flour, but you will have to adjust the whole recipe due to the extra absorbency of coconut flour. To replace coconut flour with almond flour in your keto recipe, follow these recommendations: Replace every 1/4 cup (1 ounce) of coconut flour with at least 1 cup of almond flour. Decrease the amount of liquid in the recipe by using one less egg for every 1/4 cup of coconut flour that the recipe initially called for. By using these two recommendations, you will be able to convert most coconut flour recipes… Read more »

Well, peanut butter powder is that duct tape. So, I recommend you to use peanut butter powder. But if you want to try with peanut butter, typically, the ratio is two tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to one tablespoon of water, which yields one tablespoon of nut butter.

These are much better than I expected! I baked a few minutes longer than indicated which made them a little dry but a dollop of sugar free whipped cream solved that problem perfectly. I also ran short on almond butter and made my own to supplement but it wasn’t quite as creamy because I got impatient. I wanted some dang brownies! Looking forward to trying this recipe again though!

Finally got to try this recipe and we really liked it. Wish I had read these comments first because I would have used real peanut butter from a jar in lieu of the powdered, which is just an extra expense for two tablespoons from a large jar. I used powdered Monk fruit artificial sweetner due to the store had no 100% ethriytol. Even my hubby said he would eat these all the time since they’re healthier. He wouldn’t mind a little unsweetened whipped cream on top🤗

I had to make several substitutions to be able to make these with what I had on hand:
-Fatso peanut butter for almond butter
-Blended monkfruit sugar for powdered erythritol
-Chocolate protein powder for peanut butter powder
-Cooked for an additional 5 minutes
Even with the additional cooking time only the very edges were set and the rest was still very soft so I let them cool for a really long time hoping they would firm up. I feel like with the peanut butter I should have added more coconut flour or cooked them way longer. They’re still good though!

Awesome recipe! I used peanut butter instead of PB powder, and added 1 tsp espresso powder. I made these into Marble Cheesecake Brownies also by mixing up a cheesecake filling in a separate bowl consisting of 8oz cream cheese, 1/3 cup monkfruit sweetener, 1 egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. I used a rubber spatula to spread 2/3 of the brownie batter into a 9×9 pan, the added the cheesecake mixture in large dollops over the batter, then I sprinkled the chocolate chips (or chopped Lily’s dark chocolate). Lastly, I spooned the remaining brownie batter in dollops over the cheesecake… Read more »

Reply to  Jen

Cacao can be used in place of cocoa powder, but you will have to keep a few things in mind. First, there is the matter of cacao powder’s stronger taste. This means that you will have to use less of it in a recipe that calls for cocoa powder. Next, there is the fact that cacao powder will absorb more liquid cocoa powder. This means that you may need to make adjustments to the amounts of liquids in your recipe as well. Another factor is leavening. You will need to use baking soda if you are using cacao as a… Read more »

OK, I tend to just give up on baked sweets, because I can’t stand the cooling effect of erythritol, but I had some allulose (powdered) OH, and subbed that. If the batter is any indication, I’ll be making these a lot!

Hello! Thank you for the recipe! I didn’t have any almond butter so I subbed 6 oz of cream cheese and added an extra Tablespoon of powdered peanut butter and water, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of 1/4. Brought the carbs down, if I did my math right, to 3.7 carbs per serving. They are excellent!!!

These were amazing! Chocolatey and moist. I was looking for a recipe that used very small amounts of “keto” flours. I love almonds and coconut, but as flour in recipes…yuck. I didn’t have a few ingredients, so I used a few close subs. I didn’t have powdered erythritol, so blitzed some erythritol/stevia blend and used 1/2 cup of that. Instead of almond butter I used Costco mixed nut butter, and 2 tbsp natural PB for the powdered. So tasty…thanks!
