Keto Brownies Recipe
People who say that you can’t have sweets on the Keto diet are mistaken. You can, it just takes a little modification to make keto-friendly substitutes. Not only can you enjoy these low carb brownies, but they are amazingly delicious. I’ve been trying to create a good keto brownie recipe for a long time. It took lots of trial and error before I created the perfect fudgy keto brownie. I’ve made this recipe numerous times for myself and my family, and they are always a hit.

Keto Speciality Ingredients Needed to Make Keto Brownies:
Gather all your ingredients, and you’re well on your way to making some of the most delicious low carb brownies, ever! There are a couple of keto specialty ingredients that you will need to get started.
- Coconut Flour
- Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered
- Lakanto Monkfruit Golden
- Lily’s Chocolate Chips
- Xanthan Gum
What Can I substitute for Monkfruit?
As long as you are using the same variety, you can substitute Swerve in place of Monkfruit. I’ve included the brand conversions below to make sure that you use exchange the correct variety. I’ve had a couple of people ask if you can use powdered erythritol for the Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered. Yes, you can, but you’ll still need to use a sugar-free brown sugar substitute for the Lakanto Monkfruit Golden.
Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered = Swerve Confectioners
Lakanto Monkfruit Golden = Swerve Brown
Below you’ll find a step-by-step picture tutorial including process pictures to guide you as you make these irristiable mouthwatering fudgy keto brownies.
I love the taste and flavor of butter in the very best keto brownies, but you could substitute coconut oil instead.
Tip: Make sure that your butter has cooled a bit before adding the eggs to the mixture.
When you add the dry ingredients to the batter, I find it mixes easier if I use a hand mixer. You’ll love how super easy these brownies are to make even if you aren’t a baker.
Is Baking Cocoa Keto Friendly?
Yes, baking cocoa or cocoa powder is unsweetened, so it fits perfectly into a keto lifestyle.
I can’t rave enough about how delicious these brownies taste. I love the added Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips they give these keto brownies a fun and unique texture that is an added surprise of dark chocolate in every bite. You could also add pecans, walnuts, or stir in a little cream cheese for a little added flavor.
The batter will be very thick because coconut flour is absorbent. Once the low carb brownies begin to bake, all of the added oil and eggs will make the brownies mouthwatering soft. Also, if you are looking for gluten-free, all the ingredients that I used in my pantry made these brownies gluten-free, but you’ll want to check the exact ingredients that you use.
Can I Sub Almond Flour for Coconut Flour?
Yes! The conversion is 1/4 cup of coconut flour equals 1 cup of almond flour. Although it isn’t an exact science, this conversion generally works well in most recipes.
An 8 X 8 pan works best with this recipe. You can line the pan with parchment paper to keep the pan clean. I’m a little lazy like that.
In our family, there are a few that like the end pieces and those that prefer the middle. In my opinion, as long as I get a piece of these low carb brownies, I’m a happy camper, although end pieces are my very favorite.
With a baking time of only 25-28 minutes, these fudgy keto brownies will be an extra special keto treat. Did I mention that once you subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols, the carb count is only 1 net carb? Yes, these sugar-free brownies are worth it!
Toppings for Keto Brownies
Sometimes, adding a fun topping to your brownies make them extra delicious. One of the most simple toppings for these low carb brownies is a simple sprinkle of Lakanto powdered sweetener, which is the perfect balance and combination to these brownies. Another excellent option for a delicious topping is homemade keto-friendly whipped cream or a few berries. These Keto Brownies are best served straight out of the oven or rewarmed.

Hi! Could you use Swerve instead of monkfruit?
Kasey says
Sure
K says
Is it possible to skip or replace the Xantham Gum?
Kasey says
I have only made as is. I am not sure you would be able to leave it out.
Amy says
Hi, instead of using the 2 different types of monkfruit sweetners, can I use only one of the 2? I have GRANULAR monk fruit sweetner but of a different brand. Do you think that will work the same? Sorry, if the question seems silly. I am very new to keto (this is my second week) and have only just started using monk fruit sweetners.
Kasey says
I have only tried as is. If you use different sweeteners and/or types, it could change the taste and/or texture. Let me know how it turns out!
Gracielou12 says
These were so delicious! Thanks!
Sonia says
Love all your recipes! How necessary is the powdered monk fruit? Just wondering because I have all the other ingredients on hand.
Kasey says
I’ve only test this recipe as is so I’m not sure how it would turn out with a different sweetener.
Tammy says
I don’t have any choc chips but do have 100% cacao baking bar. Can I substitute and how much?
glenn myatt says
In cronometer it says 1.88 net carbs,?
Kasey says
Hey Glenn, the recipe card was based on the exact branded ingredients I used in my kitchen. So, there is a chance there could be slight variation depending on what you used.
Tom says
I’ve got to have them brownies!!!
Kasey says
Glad you enjoyed them, Tom!!
Katie says
How do you store these? Should you store them in the fridge?
They were delicious and I could eat the whole pan BUT I know I shouldn’t haha!
Maddie says
Hi! In my opinion This is not a carb friendly recipe. I have calculated it many times and it shows that for a 12th of a pan of brownies there is 19 carbs. Your nutrition says 3carbs. Am I missing something?
Kasey says
Did you subtract the sugar alcohols? Most apps do not automatically subtract the sugar alcohols to calculate net carbs. They have to be backed out manually.
Amy Smith says
Just made these! OMGoodness put my husband put some whip on his I just ate mine out of the pan! It is all I can do to not go back and eat the whole pan
