Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond flour or 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/41 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol or preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate or unsweetened chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter, then set it aside to use later.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened butter and chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, espresso powder, and baking powder to ensure an even distribution.
  4. Beat Eggs and Add Chocolate Mixture: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs for about 30 seconds until slightly frothy. Slowly pour in the melted chocolate and butter mixture and continue mixing until combined.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan and spread it out with a spatula. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a thin crispy layer forms on top but the center remains moist.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy your fudgy keto brownies.

Notes

  • For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with coconut flour but note the texture will be slightly different.
  • Use powdered sweetener to avoid gritty texture; granular sweeteners may affect brownie consistency.
  • Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overbake to ensure the brownies remain moist and fudgy inside.
  • Espresso powder intensifies the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
