Equipment

1 8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter melted
1 cup granulated erythritol
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup almond flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sweetener until well combined.
Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
Add almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For clean cuts, refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Slice, serve and enjoy.

Notes

Coconut flour is much more absorbent and not a 1:1 swap. If you want to use it, reduce it to about 2 tbsp and increase the eggs or fat. For best results, stick with almond flour.
Erythritol, monk fruit-erythritol blends, or allulose all work well as sweeteners in keto baking. Allulose gives the softest texture, while erythritol yields a slightly crisp top.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then chill them in the fridge for an hour or two before slicing. It makes a huge difference in getting clean, sharp edges.
