🥘 Ingredients in keto coconut flour brownies

Coconut Flour

When you make brownies with coconut flour, look for organic and non-GMO coconut flour that is certified gluten-free. Coconut flour is a great grain-free, gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat flour and has a mild nutty taste that complements the other flavors in this recipe.

Eggs

It’s good to use large eggs at room temperature for the best results in this recipe. I like to choose cage-free organic eggs if possible since they are healthier for you, kinder, and better for the environment.

Can you have cocoa powder on keto?

Yes, cocoa powder is keto friendly. Unsweetened cocoa powder provides a rich, chocolatey flavor in brownie recipes and is packed with powerful antioxidants. Cocoa powder also has unique properties that help it bind together ingredients in baked goods without the need for added sugar or grains.

Choose natural cocoa powder for this recipe as it does not contain added sugar or other sweeteners like some dutch cocoa powders do. Unsweetened cocoa powder will give your brownies the richest chocolate flavor possible!

Keto sweeteners

You can use any type of your favorite keto-friendly granulated or powdered sweetener as a sugar substitute in this recipe. Good options are Swerve Confectioners, Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, or Allulose Sweetener in this recipe. If you prefer less sweetness, use 3/4 cup instead of a full cup.

Salt

This helps to bring out all of the flavors in the brownies so don’t skimp out on it! I like to use good sea salt or Redmond’s Real salt.

Vanilla Extract

Make sure to use pure vanilla extract here over imitation varieties since those will not have as strong of a flavor and won’t give your brownies as much complexity when baking them up.

Coconut Oil

Make sure to melt your coconut oil before adding it to the batter so that it can incorporate well with all other ingredients. Unrefined coconut oil has a slight hint of coconut flavor while refined oil is more neutral – both will work perfectly fine here.

Alternatively, I also sometimes use melted butter or butter flavored coconut oil because my daughter doesn’t care for the flavor of coconut. Kids! 😉

Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate (Optional)

Feel free to add these to the batter for an extra boost of chocolatey goodness! Good options for sugar free chocolate chips or baking chocolate include: Lily’s Baking Chips, Swerve Chocolate Chips, Lakanto Chocolate Chips, and The Good Chocolate.

9 Pecans (Optional)

Toasted pecans add a crunchy texture plus some healthy fats to these delicious brownies – but completely optional if preferred without nuts or if there’s an allergy to nuts.

Did I miss the baking powder?!

No, indeed! These keto brownies bake up perfectly without any baking powder or baking soda.

🔪 Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Next, coat it with some coconut oil or avocado oil spray. It’s important to use parchment paper as it will help the finished brownies release easily from the pan when they’re done baking.

Now in a medium bowl, measure out 6 tablespoons of coconut flour, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, 1 cup of sweetener such as Swerve Confectioners, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Give it all a good whisk until everything is well combined and there are no lumps left in your dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, beat 4 large eggs until frothy, then add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until completely incorporated. Now slowly pour this egg mixture into the dry ingredients while mixing so that all the ingredients are fully combined and you have a nice smooth batter consistency throughout.

After that, melt 1/3 cup of coconut oil either in the microwave or stovetop (whichever is easier for you) before adding it into your batter.

Now if desired (and I highly recommend it), stir in ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate as well as ½ cup chopped pecans for extra texture and flavor. This will take your brownies from delicious to downright decadent! 

⏲ Baking time

Now it’s time to bake!

Pour the batter into your lined and greased 8×8 inch baking pan and spread evenly using a spatula or spoon so that all corners of the pan are covered evenly with batter.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, but keep an eye on it because baking times may vary depending on your oven so check periodically during baking to make sure yours don’t overbake. When ready, an inserted toothpick should come out clean when tested in the center of your brownies.

Let the coconut flour keto brownies cool completely 

Once finished baking, remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into desired size pieces and serving. They can fall apart easily and crumble if they are not allowed to cool so don’t skip this step. You can always rewarm them if necessary after they’re removed from the pan and cut into portions. I often warm one for a snack.

Enjoy these deliciously fabulous keto coconut flour brownies any time you need a chocolate fix without derailing your diet plan!

You can also serve with a dollop of whipped cream or some freshly grated dark chocolate on top for extra indulgence. Enjoy!

🍫 What makes a brownie fudgier?

Fudgy keto brownies can be easily made with a few keto-friendly ingredients. Unsweetened cocoa powder gives these brownies their chocolatey flavor while adding an extra dose of fudginess. Avocado or coconut oil helps to keep things moist and adds richness, while almond flour provides structure and stability. A little sweetener – like monk fruit or allulose – gives the perfect finishing touch and just enough sweetness to make fudgy brownies extra delicious.

Now, as for fudgy coconut flour brownies, coconut flour can make brownies slightly more cakelike, so if you prefer super fudgy low carb brownies, a recipe with almond flour and butter can be a good option.

Personally, I also love to mix things up and often make other low carb brownies using this keto pumpkin brownies recipe or these low carb peanut butter brownies, yum! Do you have other favorite flavors of keto brownie recipes?

💭 Top Tip: what is the secret to moist brownies?

The secret to a moist, delicious keto coconut flour brownie is all in the balance of the ingredients. Coconut flour absorbs liquid quickly so it’s important to add enough eggs and oil to ensure that your keto brownies turn out perfectly moist.

Adding some sugar free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate can also help boost the moisture level and add an extra layer of deliciousness. I do love a good coconut flour brownie recipe!

🥣 How to store keto coconut flour brownies

Keto coconut flour brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Alternatively, you can store them in an air-tight container for up to 7 days in the fridge, which is generally what I like to do.

Also, it’s possible to freeze them for later use – simply wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag.

To serve, allow the keto brownies to thaw completely or you can rewarm them in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
