Craving for something chewy, rich, and chocolatey? I highly recommend that you give these easy keto brownies a shot. Yep, you’ve read it correctly. Easy. Plus they’re super high in fat.
Brownies, in my opinion, are among the best treats that can be made keto-friendly. This is positive news for those who love brownies but feel limited because, to be honest, regular brownies are high in carbs. Hello, all-purpose flour.
Backstory of this recipe:
The first time I went keto, I tried to limit those brownie treats to weekends or cheat days. A friend of mine who happened to be a long-time ketoer randomly shared with me some dessert recipes and, lo and behold, she mentioned keto chocolate brownies.
I asked her what she did to make her brownies low-carb, and here are the two key ingredients that spelled the difference: Almond flour and erythritol.
I learned that almond flour is an excellent substitute for wheat flour. It’s much lower in carbs and rich in healthy monounsaturated fats. Erythritol, on the other hand, is a sugar alcohol. As a keto-friendly sweetener, it doesn’t raise blood sugar levels.
Over time, I’ve learned some useful tweaks to produce a tastier version of traditional low carb brownie treats — and that’s by adding Kiss My Keto’s Dark Chocolate – Roasted Almonds. This ingredient imparts a richer taste to the brownies, not to mention, the almonds that add a bit of crunch. Exciting, right? And oh, I’ve also chosen Kiss My Keto’s Coconut keto bar as the toppings.
But I’ve also recently learned that Kiss My Keto offers their newest brownies. I gave them a try and to be honest, they’re made to perfection.
Let’s dive into the actual low carb brownie recipe.

The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven at 350 F. In a microwave-safe bowl, place the keto chocolate and butter. Put the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and erythritol, and then fold in the chocolate and butter mixture, followed by the rest of the dry ingredients — almond flour, cocoa powder, chia seeds, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Once the batter is properly mixed, spread it on the baking dish. Bake for about 15 minutes! As for the topping, it’s really simple. All you need to do is this: In a microwave-safe bowl, add chopped keto bars, coconut butter, and heavy cream. Microwave. Then pour the mixture over the cooled brownies.
Keto Brownie Recipe Variations
The best keto brownies don’t need to strictly follow a specific set of ingredients. People have different taste preferences, and let’s admit it — there will be times when some ingredients aren’t available. These useful tweaks may help!
- Sweetener – You’ve got other options besides erythritol. Keto-approved sweeteners include xylitol, powdered Swerve, and lakanto monk fruit.
- Topping – Flaked sea salt is a wonderful topping to add to your keto brownie recipe. It requires no additional prep at all. Simply sprinkle sea salt on the brownies to add crunch and enhance the flavor of your dessert. Chopped walnuts are also great for increasing your fat and protein intake!
- Flour – Surprised? Yes, coconut flour is another good substitute for all-purpose flour. Just use ¼ cup of coconut flour to replace 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Since coconut flour tends to absorb liquids, make sure that you increase the eggs and butter.
