Keto Brownies Ingredients

Hopefully, you'll try these keto brownies, friends, because they are my absolute favorite dessert and I could eat them every day. The ingredients needed are super easy to find and common in keto baking. I suggest following the reci[e as written and don't try to replace the ingredients unless stated in the recipe card below.

To transform the "regular" brownies into a keto version we have to ditch the sugar, the wheat flour, and milk chocolate (suuuuper high in sugar).

• Almond flour– one of my favorite keto flours I often use in keto baking. I always choose a superfine blanched almond flour and sift it to get rid of the bigger clumps.
• Sweetener– An erythritol blend is the best sweetener to use in this recipe as it has no funky aftertaste. For paleo brownies, you can use coconut sugar. However, don't use liquid sweeteners to make keto brownies.
• Eggs– an essential ingredient that helps everything blend together. Use room temperature eggs to reduce the eggy taste.
• Butter– Unsalted butter is needed to make these brownies unbelievably fudgy.
• Cocoa powder– Dutch-process or regular unsweetened cocoa powder to make the brownies taste heavenly chocolatey.
• Dark chocolate– or unsweetened chocolate chips. It must be high quality. Add some chocolate chunks to the batter to make the brownies even more decadent. Lily's Sugar Free chocolate chips are one of the best options.
• Baking powder– help the brownies become super fluffy.
• Espresso powder– you can't feel the coffee taste, but it greatly enhances the chocolate flavors.
• Vanilla extract– use a high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavors.

How to Make Keto Brownies

This keto brownies with almond flour recipe is super simple to make by just following the steps in the recipe card. Here's what you need to do:

1. Make the keto brownies batter- In a large bowl, add the unaslted butter and chocolate. Melt togheter and mix well.
2. Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, espresso powder, and baking powder.
3. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs for 30 seconds. Pour the melted chocolate mixer, and continue mixing.
4. Combine the dry and wet ingredients until well incorporated. Try not to over mix the batter, to get the fudgiest brownie in the entire world.
5. Pour the keto brownies batter into the pan and spread evenly with the back of a spatula
6. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until the tops look set.Enjoy!

BONUS TIP: Make sure you don't overbake the sugar-free brownie batter because it will be cakey and not fudgy.

Tips for Making the Best Keto Brownies

The quality of the ingredients is crucial for the best keto brownies. I'll share with you some of the tips I think truly make a difference in this recipe.

1. Chose high-quality chocolate. Use the highest cocoa percentage you can find – not 100% necessary to use 100% dark chocolate because it's very expensive. Any chocolate with a percentage of 85-99% is perfect. My favorite brands are Lindt, Baker's Chocolate and Lilys's Chocolate Chips (completely sugar-free).
2. Use a super fine almond flour. The almond flour combined with cocoa powder helps a lot with the texture. If you want to use coconut flour, reduce the quantity of almond flour to about 2 tablespoons and adjust if necessary.
3. The sweeteners I recommend and don't give that cooling effect (no aftertaste) are Lakanto Monkfruit (1:1 sugar substitute) and the powdered Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend. The second favorite brands are Swerve, Erythritol, and Xylitol. Using a powdered sweetener keeps the brownies moist (at least that's what I've noticed). Stevia isn't a favorite of mine in baked goods as it tends to get bitter and overpowers the chocolate goodness.

How to Store Keto Brownies

This recipe makes 16 keto brownies square, so you'll have a sugar-free dessert ready for the whole week. These are the best storing options:

1. Store the keto brownies in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 10 days. Allow them to sit a few minutes on the counter before eating. Keto brownies tend to harden in the fridge.
2. Store on the counter covered for up to 4 days. Usually, desserts made without sugar tend to go bad faster.

Can I Store Keto Brownies in the Freezer

Yes, you can store keto fudgy brownies in the freezer! Wrap the uncut keto brownies in foil or parchment paper for up to 4 months.
Storing pre-cut brownies is also possible. Just make sure to individually wrap each serving, then them in a freezer bag.
When ready to enjoy thaw at room temperature or in the fridge.
