Making keto desserts can be so much fun! These amazingly decadent keto chocolate brownies are so close to “regular” brownies that most people won’t be able to tell that they are low-carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free!

They have the perfect chewy consistency, the right crunch from the nuts, and the authentic chocolate flavor from the cocoa powder and sugar-free chocolate chips.

Not only are they healthy but making them is as easy as mixing everything together and baking them!

How to make keto chocolate brownies?

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the water, oil, yogurt, vanilla extract, and flax meal. Leave to stand for 15 minutes to allow the flax meal to start reacting and bind everything together. 

Step 2: Once the mixture has started to thicken after 15 minutes, add in the coconut flour, cocoa powder, stevia, baking soda, and salt and mix until fully incorporated. 

Step 3: Then add in the chocolate chips and walnuts and fold them in gently. 

Step 4: Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread the dough evenly throughout the pan. Press some extra chocolate chips into the top of the brownie if you like.

Step 5: Bake for 15 – 18 minutes until almost set, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.  

Step 6: Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow them to completely set and firm up. Allowing the brownies to set in the refrigerator makes them delicious and fudgy.   

Tips for making perfect low-carb chocolate brownies every time: 

• The main tip for these keto brownies is letting them cool and set in the refrigerator for a few hours, or overnight. This cooling makes the brownies more fudgy and gooey on the inside like any good brownie should be. Eating them after baking gives you a crumbly and dry brownie which might work well with some ice cream. But trust me, the wait for these brownies to cool is well worth it. 
• You can use any brand of sugar-free chocolate chips that you prefer. If they are able to melt slightly, then they will work even better in this recipe, but any chocolate chips you like will do just fine. 
• Adjusting this recipe to how you like your brownies is simple. You can substitute any nuts you prefer for the walnuts used in this recipe. You can also adjust the cooking times less to make the brownies chewier and fudgy or longer cooking times for a more crumbly, cakey texture.
