Blonde Low Carb Brownies – Chocolate Deliciousness
Craving treats but trying to lay low on the carbs? These moist and delicious Blonde Low Carb Brownies with sugar-free chocolate chips are sure to become one of your favorite keto desserts. These are literally the perfect keto brownies!
BLONDE LOW CARB BROWNIES
It may be hard to say “no” to sweets once the three seasons of back-to-back holidays arrive. It seems like everyone you go; there is some “dessert” just sitting there, calling your name.
It IS possible to have sweets here and there while following a keto lifestyle. The key is finding a keto sweet treat comparable to the sugar-filled desserts we used to enjoy. Even though I am not a great planner by nature, I know that it’s necessary to think ahead, especially when I will be around a lot of sweets that are not keto-friendly. If I know that I’m going to be hosting or attending a party, I make sure that I bake something that fits into our keto lifestyle to enjoy the fun of socializing and eating a sweet treat with friends and family.
These Blonde Low Carb Brownies are a brand new keto dessert that I can already tell will become my “go-to” dessert. They are delicious, simple to make, and best of all, keto-friendly, low carb, gluten-free, and sugar-free.

Ingredients for best keto brownies:
There are ingredients used to make these Blonde Low Carb Brownies that you may not have in your pantry. I buy many of my keto specialty ingredients on Amazon, so I don’t have to look all over town for them.
- eggs – work as a binder to hold these brownies together
- heavy whipping cream – adds fat and moisture to the batter
- butter – adds fat and moisture (you can also use coconut oil that is melted)
- Coconut Flour – keto-friendly flour
- Lakanto Monkfruit Golden – keto-friendly brown sugar substitute
- Lily’s Chocolate Chips– sugar-free keto-friendly chocolate chips
- Unsweetened Shredded Coconut – pure coconut without any sugar added
- Xanthan Gum – often used as a thickener for sauces and soups and as a stabilizer to prevent ingredients from separating
- vanilla extract – adds flavor
- salt and baking powder – helps to fluff the brownies when baking
- walnuts – adds fat and a crunchy texture
Can I sub other sweeteners?
Yes, Swerve Brown would work at the same measurement as would Besti Brown Monkfruit Sweetener with Allulose. I prefer not to use Stevia in baking as I find it to have a bitter aftertaste.
How many carbs are in low-carb brownies?
Based on cutting the brownies into 12 squares using this keto brownie recipe, they have 3 net carbs.
Coconut Flour vs. Almond Flour
As I’ve mentioned previously, I use Coconut Flour in my recipes because my daughter is allergic to almonds. If you’d like to use almond flour instead, please remember that coconut flour and almond flour do not substitute 1:1. Almond flour requires 4x as much coconut flour.
HOW TO MAKE BLONDE LOW CARB BROWNIES
Follow these easy steps to make these tasty keto-friendly brownies. You’re not going to find a recipe for easy keto brownies that is better than this!
You won’t believe how simple these Blonde Keto Brownies are to make. It’s as simple as adding all the ingredients and letting the mixer do the hard part!
Steps:
Step 1: Preheat the oven. Then, in a mixing bowl, add the eggs, Monkfruit Golden, and cooled butter to a bowl and beat well until combined.
Step 2: Next, add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, coconut flour, salt, baking powder, and Xanthan Gum and beat on high until the batter is mixed together.
Tip: Make sure to beat the batter for a minute or two to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4: Stir in unsweetened coconut, Lily’s chips, and walnuts. Then, pour the batter into a baking pan and bake in the oven.
Variations to this recipe: The Lily’s Chocolate Chips, unsweetened coconut, and walnuts are entirely customizable. If walnuts aren’t your cup of tea, you can substitute pecans or another tree nut instead. On that same note, if you don’t like coconut, it can be omitted. You can easily make these Blonde Low Carb Brownies suit your taste with a couple of simple adjustments.
These Blonde Low Carb Brownies are best served and enjoyed warm. They are even better with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
How can I make sure the blonde low-carb brownies are soft?
It is tempting to overcook low-carb brownies. This can make the inside dry and the outside crumbly. If you like your brownies soft, be sure to remove them from the oven when they are still slightly undercooked.
Can I add different nuts to this recipe?
Yes. A lot of people like different kinds of nuts in brownies? Adding some chopped pecans can give them a little bit of a crunch and additional flavor. I used walnuts in the recipe as they remind me of my favorite blonde brownie recipe I used to make before we started eating low carb. If you prefer, you can always leave out the nuts entirely.
When I make this recipe for my oldest daughter, I make it without adding any nuts to the brownie batter.
Sharing Blonde Sugar-Free Brownies
Once you bake these yummy brownies, you can bet that everyone is going to want to try a bite and see just how “different” brownies taste low carb. And why not? Let them taste that it’s possible to have a delicious dessert without all the extra unneeded carbs! Remember that these brownies are best served and enjoyed warm, so I always heat them right before sharing them with family and friends!
How long can I store the low-carb brownies?
These easy keto brownies store in the fridge for about four days. They will keep at room temperature for about three days. However, you can freeze them. Place the cooled brownies on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for about an hour. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat them, pop them in the toaster oven and enjoy the delicious flavor.
How do I keep the batter from becoming lumpy?
Make sure to beat the batter for a minute or two. It will take that long for the ingredients to combine well and become smooth.

These are a keeper. My house smells delicious. My favorite keto dessert so far. Thank you. I appreciate that you bake with coconut flour. It helps keep the carbs down lower than almond flour.
Awesome! So glad you loved it. My oldest daughter is allergic to almonds so I have only used coconut flour.
Do you really need the xanthan gum?
I’ve only tested the recipe as is so I’m not sure how they would hold up without.
Can I use swerve granular or powered in place of monk fruit?
Yes. Just make sure it is the same type i.e. powdered, golden, etc.
Hi Kasey,
We are just starting our Keto journey. My husband has a huge sweet tooth, so I’m very excited to try this. Is there something I can use instead of the Xanthan Gum for now until I purchase some?
You could leave it out. It won’t affect the taste they just might be a little crumbly.
I didn’t even get out the mixer! Really good. I might toast the walnuts next time but not a ton of ingredients and the recipe went a long way! Only need a couple of bites to be satisfied!
Glad you enjoyed, Deanna.
I hate to ask a dumb question, but cam I do this without xanthum gum? I have everything but that.
Yes, you can. It won’t change the taste but they might be a bit crumbly.
I have Swerve Brown Sugar on hand can I use that? Would it also be 3/4 cup? Thanks so much. Recipe looks delicious!
Sure, you can use Swerve Brown Sugar and it would be the same amount.
These are wonderful! I made exactly by the recipe and they were very tasty! Very rich and satisfying so a little bite was all I needed! Thanks! Love all your recipes.
I’m so glad you love my recipes!
I make these often!! Amazing! The whole family gobbles them up!♥️
Fantastic! Glad your family loves them!
These are so good! If you havent made them yet you need to!! My whole family loves them!
They are one of my favorites!!!
Excellent recipe, I substituted almond flour for coconut floor, sugar free white chocolate for chocolate and macadamia nuts for walnuts.
That sounds absolutely wonderful, Ann. I’m glad you enjoyed them.
How much almond flour did you use? Kasey, can you leave out the shredded coconut? Thanks
I’ve only made it with the shredded coconut but I’m sure you could leave it out.
Just made these! They are so good! My kids even loved them!
I’m really glad you and your kids loved them!
Yum! I was looking for a quick and easy treat last night, so I came to your site! I love all your recipes, and I had all the ingredients on hand. My husband and I enjoyed them right out of the oven, and they were to die for. Thanks for all the yummy recipes! P.S. What’s the best way to store these?
Glad you and hubby enjoyed them! You can store them in an airtight container either on the counter or in the fridge.
Would these work without the shredded coconut? I am not a huge coconut fan.
You can just leave out the coconut.
These brownies are delicious! Definitely on my baking rotation.
That’s awesome! Glad you love them.
