• Salt - Balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor

Almond Flour Brownies (Gluten-Free)

Converting Michelle's favorite recipe to a low-carb keto version was not too challenging, but true to my style, I had to add my own twist to it.

So I pulled out my double boiler and made the necessary modifications to be as close to her favorite high-carb brownie as possible.

Aiming for the perfect texture, I decided to sift the fine almond flour after I measured it. I think this little extra step makes for the richest, fudgiest chocolate keto brownies.

Using finely milled almond flour instead of regular white flour required an additional egg to produce a keto fudgy brownie batter. I also decided to go with extra dark cocoa powder because dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants.

What's more, I chose to add a teaspoon of instant coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor further. Can you tell I love all things chocolate?

Of course, you can always leave out the instant coffee if you prefer.

This quickly became our favorite low-carb brownie recipe. Honestly, as much as I loved my others, this one is not only delicious but also super easy to make.

Even my non-baking friends should give this one a try.

How To Make These Almond Flour Keto Brownies

Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees and lightly greasing an 8x8 baking pan so your brownies release easily once baked.

In a double boiler, combine the butter, sugar substitute, cocoa powder, unsweetened baking chocolate, instant coffee, and salt.

Stir occasionally until everything is fully melted and smooth, then remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly so the eggs don't scramble.

Once cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Gently fold in the sifted almond flour and baking powder, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter. If using walnuts, fold them in at this stage for added texture and flavor.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, keeping an eye on the center so it stays slightly soft for that perfect fudgy texture.

Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing, as this helps them set properly.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze for up to three weeks for an easy make-ahead treat.

Looking For A Coconut Flour Version?

If you prefer baking with coconut flour or need a nut-free option, you'll want to try our coconut flour keto brownies.

Coconut flour behaves very differently than almond flour, so it requires its own specially formulated recipe to achieve the right texture and moisture.

The good news is we've already done the testing for you. It's a great alternative if you're looking for low carb brownies without almond flour while still enjoying a rich, chocolatey treat.
