Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ⅔ cup (130g) erythritol or your favorite keto sweetener
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Optional add-ins:
- ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans
- ½ cup (90g) sugar-free chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add melted butter (cooled) and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in optional nuts and sugar-free chocolate chips if using.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out, then slice into 12 squares.
Notes
Use blanched almond flour for best texture. Do not overmix batter to avoid tough brownies. Let brownies cool fully before slicing to set properly. Optional add-ins like nuts and sugar-free chocolate chips add texture and flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. Adjust baking time slightly if brownies are too dry or too fudgy.
