Keto Brownies
Rich, fudgy, chocolatey brownies made with almond flour and monk fruit sweetener. They’re low-carb and keto-friendly when you use keto-friendly chocolate chips. 🤎
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup monk fruit sweetener, preferably granulated
- ½ cup (56 g) almond flour
- ⅓ cup (28–30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ⅓–½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips, such as Lily’s, or another keto-friendly brand
- Pinch of salt, optional
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 × 8-inch (20 × 20 cm) baking pan. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal. - Prepare the wet ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the room-temperature eggs, cooled melted butter, vanilla extract, and monk fruit sweetener until smooth and well combined. - Add the dry ingredients
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix. - Fold in the chocolate chips
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle over the top if desired. - Bake
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 22–25 minutes. The edges should look set while the center can still have a slight softness.
- Cool completely
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10–15 minutes. For cleaner slices and a fudgier texture, let them cool completely before cutting.
🍫 Tips for Fudgy Brownies
- Don’t overbake—the brownies continue to set as they cool.
- For an extra-rich chocolate flavor, add ½ tsp instant coffee/espresso powder.
- Chill completely before slicing for firmer, neater squares.
- Monk fruit blends vary in sweetness, so use the amount recommended on your particular package.
🥑 Keto Note
These are keto-friendly provided your monk fruit sweetener and chocolate chips are low/no added sugar and your almond flour is unsweetened. Always check the nutrition label, especially for the chocolate chips.
