Best Keto Brownie Recipe - How to make Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

Who says you can't eat brownies when you're on the keto diet?! These keto brownies are the best.

Why can't I eat regular brownies on keto?

Keto doesn't allow you to eat two main ingredients in traditional brownies: flour and sugar.

What makes these brownies healthy?

So much! We pack them with mashed avocados so they get a silky texture while packing in good-for-you fats. We also add some peanut butter, which will help deliver healthy fats and a nice nutty flavor.

What type of sweetener should I use for keto brownies?

We love using Swerve for these, either the granulated or brown sugar variety will do! We find that out of all the sugar replacement options out there, Swerve (erythritol) has the least noticeable aftertaste.
