    To Die for Keto Brownies

    Have you been searching for the perfect Keto Brownies recipe?  Stop right now because you have found it!

    I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that everyone loves brownies.  They are intensely chocolatey, rich, and decadent.  They are a classic American dessert…especially served with ice cream!  They are also easy to make keto and gluten free.

    How would it feel to start losing with keto?

    Join my FREE 7 day keto challenge!

    These keto brownies are insane!  They have crispy edges, lots of chocolate, a gooey center, and they are easy to make!  I love that they are made with coconut flour…so they are nut free and gluten free.

    HOW TO MAKE KETO BROWNIES

    For this brownie recipe, I used an 8×8 metal pan and I lined it with parchment.  I also sprayed the parchment with oil just to be sure the parchment wouldn’t stick to the brownies.

    Then I started on my keto brownie batter.  For this recipe you need melted butter, Swerve sweetener, eggs, vanilla extract, melted bakers chocolate, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

    I whisked together the melted butter and the swerve, then I added the eggs and beat that mixture with a hand mixer for 1 minute.  I poured in the melted chocolate and mixed until just combined.  I then added in the coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt and mixed.  Then folded in the remaining chocolate chips or walnuts (optional)!

    I told you this keto brownies recipe was easy!

    Here is what the coconut flour brownies batter looked like with the chocolate chips:

    The keto brownies with chocolate chips were insanely rich!

    Now we just dump it in our prepared pan, spread it out evenly, and bake them for about 30 minutes.

    When they come out of the oven, you need to let them cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before you remove them.  This gives them time to set up.

    Then you cut them into squares.  Can you believe these are keto and gluten free?

    FREEZING GLUTEN FREE BROWNIES

    Let the brownies cool completely, preferable overnight.  Cut into 9 squares and wrap each square in plastic wrap.  Place the wrapped brownies in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 4 months.  When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and plastic wrap and let thaw.

      They are alright, mine came out crumbly and too sweet. Not like the normal fudgy brownies I’m used to. I made the “swerve” brand and they were perfect. Not sure what went wrong I followed the recipe exactly.

        Keto baked goods are not going to have that same texture as that texture you are used to comes from gluten.

      Love it and making it the 2nd time.. this time reducing the sweetener as 1 cup is too sweet.. over baked it the first time and it had the crunchy bites to it.. will stick to the recommended timing. I’ve reduced the butter to 1 cup as it was kinda oily the first time.. this recipe is a must keep.. thanks..

      They came out better than I thought because I only had 8 squares of ghiradelli unsweetened chocolate so I added some Guittard dark chocolate chips. I mixed the dry ingredients then the wet so my mixture was very thick. I had to bake for about 44 minutes because the batter was very oily. I didn’t realize that I should have halved the sweetener so I sprinkled sea salt & some instant coffee powder on top after brushing with coconut oil & they came out delicious!

      These were terrible. I’m so disappointed because I wasted costly ingredients on this recipe, and it was a complete failure. I followed the recipe exactly as written and the brownies were crumbly, not sweet enough and just awful overall. Worst of all, I wasted an entire bar of 100 percent cacao baker’s chocolate, and purchased both coconut flour and Swerve in order to make this recipe. Before you post something like this, please test it and retest it and have other people try it. People are counting on it, buying expensive products and utilizing their resources in order to make your recipe.

        These are so good!! Not sure why the ugly comments have been posted. This is my second time making them and they came out so much better with the monkfruit sweetener. In the first batch I used Swerve and it just didn’t dissolve well giving the brownies a crunchy and cold texture. This time I used the monkfruit and took them out when they were just slightly jiggly. Sooo good!!

          I prefer the Lakanto monk fruit but either work. It would be the same amounts

      Hi, I want to try this but I only have 85% chocolate sweetened with erythritol. Can I just use it instead of the 100% bakers and omit the sweetener and is it a 1:1 sub or should I increase the amount of my chocolate? Thanks!

        You can but I wouldn’t completely omit the sweetener. Do the same amount of chocolate but cut the sweetener in half.

      First time I made them they were really salty. Over baked too. I didnot use chocolaye chips or walnuts. This time, I used unsalted butter and did not use salt in recipe this time and did ise chocolate chips. Better, but crumbly. The directions said bake about 30 min and then let cool 30 min. Remove pan, cut and put into air tight container. Later looked for hints and saw to let cool completely before cutting….don’t know if it would keep them from crumbling.

        Amazing!!! I’m 35 weeks pregnant and have gestational diabetes, and these brownies nearly brought me to tears ?. I have been craving rich, fudgy chocolate cake for months, but have to stick to a super strict diet. I tried low carb zucchini bread last week and while good, it didn’t touch that craving. My husband and I made these last night on our anniversary and Oh. My. Gosh. They are exactly what I needed! I had one serving with a scoop of vanilla bean Halo top ice cream and was completely satisfied. Thanks for this fabulous recipe!!!

        One thing we noticed is that the recipe calls for 12 “squares” of Baker’s chocolate. I looked up the term “square” and found lots of sources equating 1 square to 1 oz. So, we melted 12 oz of Baker’s choc…it seemed like a LOT! Fortunately I read Sophia’s post, where she says to use 90 grams (just over 3 oz). We made that (major!) adjustment and they came out perfectly. I wonder if the other people who had trouble with these never hardening up may have mad the mistake we almost did? It might be helpful to include oz or grams in the recipe to avoid confusion over what a “square” is.

        Otherwise, this recipe is seriously perfect. I added both pecans and choc chips (why choose?!).

          Delicious! Made these last night and they are so good. As I’m in Europe I had to alter the quantities to grams and thought I’d jot it down here for others who don’t work in cups.

          125g butter
          125g Xylitol (birch bark sugar)
          2 Large eggs
          2tsp vanilla
          90g unsweetened 90% dark chocolate
          2tbsp coconut flour
          2tbsp cacao powder unsweetened
          1\2 tbsp baking powder
          1\2 tsp salt
          Handful chopped walnuts

          I followed the directions above and they came out really nice, I had to use a larger baking dish so cooking time was only 18 minutes at 180 Celsius

          Hope this helps

      The taste is amazing, but even after sitting for 30 min. Too soft and didn’t come out as a bar when cut. I even put it back in the oven for another 10 min. But still too soft! What did I do wrong? I followed to a T. I plan on serving tonight with whip cream hoping my husband won’t notice. But I love the taste and want to try again to get the consistency.

      These are amazing! I did my best to break the recipe (added ingredients in wrong order, ran out of sweetener, and had to sub 1/4 c of confectioners swerve, for the regular swerve, used a 24 piece silicone pan instead of an 8×8), and they still came out SO great. Also, added some walnuts. Thank you!

      Quite good – not the usual cake-y coconut flour recipe. Way too sweet, though. I only had 3/4 cup of sweetener, and it was way too sweet with 60% chocolate. I also added walnuts!! But will make again with unsweetened chocolate. My husband loved them.
