Rich, fudgy 5-Ingredient Keto Brownies—low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, and insanely easy. The perfect chocolate fix in under 30 minutes!

Scale

½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

⅓ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

⅓ cup keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or blend)

2 large eggs

¼ tsp baking powder

Optional (for extra richness):

¼ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

2 Tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips

Prep oven & pan: Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a small 8×8″ baking dish with parchment paper or grease it well.

Mix wet base: In a medium bowl, stir almond butter and eggs until smooth.

Add dry: Add cocoa powder, sweetener, and baking powder. Stir until fully combined. Batter will be thick.

Optional mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture.

Bake: Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the center is set but still soft.

Cool: Let brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. They firm up as they cool.

Slice & enjoy: Cut into 9–12 squares and serve!

Taste test batter before baking—some sweeteners vary in strength

Don’t overbake or they’ll turn cakey instead of fudgy
