    keto coconut flour low carb brownies

    Baking your own low carb treats is easy with this keto coconut flour brownies recipe. The dry mix can even be made ahead and given to friends and family as gifts by layering in a pint sized mason jar!

    Can you have too many recipes for easy keto brownies? I don’t think so. In fact, this is the tenth recipe I’ve created. However, it’s another adaptation of a recipe that I used to make often before eliminating sugar.

    My original recipe used a lot more sugar and it’s something that I used to layer in mason jars and give as gifts. But you can also layer this recipe into a jar if you want to make it ahead for gift giving.

    The great thing is that once all the dry ingredients are measured and ready to go, you’ll only need to add butter and eggs to make the brownies. So it’s the perfect gift to give to someone who doesn’t normally have low carb sweetener or keto friendly chocolate chips in their pantry.

    Another thing I love about the recipe is that it’s nut-free and gluten-free. It can also easily be made dairy-free by replacing butter with butter flavored coconut oil. You can even make keto cream cheese brownies by adding a cheesecake topping.

    How to make brownies with coconut flour

    1. In large bowl, combine sweetener, coconut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. 
    2. In a separate bowl, cream one stick of butter in a large bowl and then beat in five eggs, one at a time.
    3. Add the dry mix to the egg mixture and beat until smooth.
    4. Spread batter in a greased or lined an 8x8-inch baking pan.
    5. Bake at 325°F (165°F) for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.

    Substituting coconut flour for regular flour

    It’s not difficult to use coconut based flour in place of wheat flour. The general rule is that you’ll only need ¼ to ⅓ cup of coconut flour for a cup of all purpose flour. However, you’ll need to up the eggs and liquid used in the recipe, otherwise the end product will likely be dry.

    Making coconut flour brownies moist

    When baking with coconut flour, you need to ensure you use plenty of eggs and adequate liquid. The liquid in this recipe comes from the butter.

    If you find the brownies to be dry, the best remedy is to up the butter next time.I also used the new Lakanto Baking Sweetener in the recipe. It retains moisture better than other low carb sweeteners that I’ve used. Therefore, I find it works really well when baking with coconut flour like in this keto brownies recipe.

    baked brownies in square pan

    How many carbs in coconut flour brownies?

    I bake the brownie batter in a square pan and then cut it into 16 squares after baking. For each one square serving, I’ve calculated the total carbs as 5 grams. But if you subtract the fiber, it comes out to be only 2 net carbs per square. Therefore, you can easily enjoy two squares without guilt!

      So I made one batch of these and the husband said they were a little bitter. Made a new batch with a bit less cocoa powder and a bit more sweetener. Now he said they're much better! Not sure if it depends on the type of cocoa powder you use, as I read that on a few other recipes too. But still great! And low carb. He needs that low carb sweet treat to hold him over and to not eat carbs! Thank you for a simple recipe. Some keto recipes have SO many ingredients...it's a bit much.

        Thanks for sharing that! I think it's more of an individual taste preference, but I will add the info in the recipe notes. Glad he liked the 2nd batch much better.

      I used half monk fruit and half swerve for the sugar substitute... not sweet enough for my family. I will have to up the amount. I also added 2tbs of avocado oil, another egg, and 1/4 cup of water because it was so sticky.

      They smell really good but seemed to take longer to bake. Your instructions say 325, but I noticed the mason jar directions say 350. I'm hoping they taste as good as they smell!

        There's not a big difference in the temperatures. But I'm pretty sure I baked at 350°F so I can fix that.
