Ingredients
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup swerve (or other keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder

- Handful of walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line an 8×8 baking dish or a small round pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Gradually add the swerve, almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, stirring until well combined. Fold in walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if using.
- Step 3: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Step 4: Bake for about 25 minutes. The center should remain moist when you take the brownies out, as they will continue to cook slightly in the pan.

Tips & Variations
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature to help the batter mix smoothly and improve texture.
- For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but reduce the amount and adjust liquid as coconut flour is more absorbent.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Top with a light dusting of powdered erythritol for extra sweetness without carbs.
Storage
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave or let them come to room temperature before enjoying.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Using regular flour will increase the carb content and change the texture, making the brownies less keto-friendly. Almond flour provides the right moisture and low-carb profile.
What is the best sweetener to use for keto brownies?
Swerve is a popular keto-friendly sweetener, but you can also use erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or a blend designed for baking, adjusting to taste.
