Keto Brownies Recipe

4.4 from 130 reviews

These Keto Brownies are a rich, fudgy, and low-carb treat perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. Made with almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, and unsweetened cocoa powder, they offer a deliciously chocolatey experience without the guilt. The addition of grassfed gelatin gives the brownies a moist, chewy texture, while optional sugar-free dark chocolate chips add extra decadence. Perfectly baked to a moist center and crisp edges, these brownies are an ideal low-carb dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp grassfed gelatin
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips, sugar-free (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter (melted)
  • ⅔ cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup water (as necessary)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease an 8×8 inch metal baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Swerve sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, grassfed gelatin, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Whisk everything until fully integrated. Gradually stir in water, a little at a time, to thin the batter to a thick but pourable consistency. If using, fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips carefully.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour and spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wet. For cakier brownies, bake a few minutes longer until the center is fully cooked.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares to ensure clean cuts and set texture.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overbake to maintain fudgy texture; the center should remain slightly moist.
  • Use a metal baking pan for even heat distribution and better baking results.
  • If you don’t have sugar-free chocolate chips, omit them or substitute with chopped unsweetened chocolate.
  • The grassfed gelatin helps with texture but can be omitted if unavailable, although texture might slightly change.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
