Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa or additional regular cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 3 tbsp water or additional oil
- 2 eggs (or 2 flax eggs as a vegan substitute)
- 2/3 cup granulated erythritol or regular sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the almond flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, salt, melted coconut oil or butter, water or additional oil, eggs (or flax eggs), erythritol or sugar, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth, even batter.
- Prepare for Baking: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface down. If needed, use a second sheet of parchment paper to assist in flattening the batter evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan on the center rack of your oven and bake for 20 minutes. The brownies should be set but still moist inside.
- Cool and Set: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature; during this time, they will continue to firm up. For best texture, refrigerate the brownies loosely covered overnight to further enhance their firmness and flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy the brownies plain or with a keto chocolate frosting for an indulgent treat. Remember to leave a review or comment if you try the recipe!
Notes
- You can substitute regular sugar for erythritol if you are not strictly keto, but erythritol keeps the recipe low-carb.
- For a vegan option, use flax eggs instead of chicken eggs.
- Refrigerating overnight is recommended for a firmer, more fudge-like consistency.
- The brownies can be topped with keto-friendly frosting if desired.
- Use parchment paper to make removing the brownies easier and to avoid sticking.
