pinterest image for keto almond flour brownies that are gluten free

This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and highly recommend. You can read my full disclosure .

Bring on the chocolate and nuttiness in 30 minutes with this quick & easy Almond Flour Brownies recipe. It includes an all-natural substitute for sugar, making them keto-friendly, gluten-free and low-carb. Enjoy these as traditional squares or turn them into cupcakes with my brownie cupcakes and keto cream cheese frosting recipes.

Why Make This

  • Quick & easy: this recipe mostly just requires you to mix and bake. Plus, it just takes 30 minutes from start to finish.
  • Gluten-free, Low-carb and Keto-friendly: I’m using an all-natural substitute for sugar and almond flour, which makes these perfect if you’re looking for gluten-free, low-carb and keto brownies recipes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Almond Flour: I’m using superfine blanched almond flour
  • Butter: I’m using salted butter in this recipe instead of adding salt to the batter
  • Keto Sweetener: To keep this brownie recipe keto-friendly, I’m using an all-natural substitute for sugar. I’ve used the granular variety.
  • Eggs: I’m using large eggs. You can swap 4 large eggs for 5 medium eggs if needed
  • Xanthan Gum: this helps to bind the recipe and is used in so many great Xanthan Gum recipes
  • Cocoa Powder: I’m using the unsweetened type.
  • Sugar-free Chocolate Chips: I prefer milk chocolate chips in brownies. You can get keto-friendly versions at the market or online.
  • Walnuts: these are unsalted pieces. You can buy them as pieces or use a knife and a cutting board or a food processor to cut them into pieces yourself.
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Baking Powder

How to Make Brownies with Almond Flour

  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl
  2. Mix the wet ingredients in a bowl
  3. Fold the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together with a mixing spatula
  4. Top with the mix-ins/add-ons and bake

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

  • Works best in an 8×8 or 9×9 square baking dish: if you use a larger baking dish, you might consider doubling the recipe as well as the cook time.
  • Use superfine, blanched almond flour: this helps the recipe have a closer texture to regular brownies.
  • Store in the refrigerator or freezer: these can be stored in the refrigerator or the freezer. But, you should serve these at room temperature or microwave them for a few seconds after storing

Can you substitute almond flour for regular flour?

Yes, but the substitute is not one to one. So, when you substitute almond flour for regular flour, be sure to find a recipe that was tested with almond flour.

Can you substitute ground almonds for flour in brownies?

Yes – this recipe uses blanched almonds ground into a superfine meal. I personally buy this from the store, but you could also make almond flour.

What is the best flour for brownies?

I’m using superfine, blanched almond flour. This recipe was not tested with almonds that have the skins on it. I don’t use it because I find that it changes the color and texture.

What do you use almond flour for?

Almond flour is a gluten-free, grain-free, low-carb, and keto substitute for flour and cornmeal.

It’s very versatile so besides this recipe, you can use it to make more almond flour recipes like my keto cornbread, the crust for pumpkin pie cheesecake, fathead pizza dough, bagels, air fryer crab cakes, keto pancakes, cauliflower hash browns, and almond flour waffles.
