How to make keto brownies without eggs
Making these fudgy keto brownies without eggs is difficult, but can be attempted. I tried using a chia egg and a flax egg and had little success. As such, one batch came out nicely, but on a second trial, it fell apart.
The only method which comes out well is using an egg replacer, like Bob’s Red Mills or Ener-G. The brownies will be super soft and crumbly, so it is best to refrigerate them before slicing.

Really, really delicious! I There was no butter, so I substitute the butter for thick cream and added a splash of coconut oil, heated the mixture and then added it to the chocolate chips to melt. Love your recipes!!!
Thanks for the feedback, Noelia!
I’m a diabetic so I can’t have any of that sweetener because it jumps my sugar up I can’t even have the vanilla so can I still make them without the sweetener and the vanilla.
Not that I’ve tried.
Hello- I made these last night and while they did turn out pretty good, the sugar didn’t seem to dissolve, is that normal? I used lakanto monk fruit sweetener And followed the recipe exactly, except for the chocolate chip part because I didn’t have any, so I added a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the melted butter. The fudginess is on point and so is the flavor, it’s just the crunch from the sugar crystals that throws me off. Any ideas as to why that happened or how to avoid in the future?
Hi Lena! We’ve sometimes found Lakanto sweetener are larger than other brands, so to combat it, if you blend it until a finer consistency (like superfine sugar) you won’t have that issue 🙂
Can I use cacao powder instead of cocoa?
I haven’t tried, feel free to experiment and see.
I finally found a truly fudgy keto brownie recipe! These are delicious and not dry.
Ahh that means so much 🙂 So glad to hear that!
Oh YUMMMM! These are amazing! I made them to take to the camper to share and they disappeared within minutes! Even people who claim to not like keto foods ate them and said how good and fudgy they are. These are so easy to put together and once they cool completely are easy to handle without falling apart. They did take me about 10 minutes longer on baking but otherwise I had no issues with these.
Love that! So glad to hear it 🙂
Hi can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? Thanks
No, that won’t work 🙂
The best!!!
These were good!I had to bake for 35 minutes. I used swerve sugar and earth balance butter. Also I live at a higher elevation (4800 feet) so that might be why it took longer.
Can these be made with coconut flour instead of almond flour? Asking due to nut allergies.
No that won’t work 🙂
These turned out great. I added Lily’s SF chocolate chips to batter. A perfect Keto dessert!
🙂 Lovely!
DELICIOUS! I followed recipe however the baking time was about 15-20 minutes more than stated. Will make again.

These are cooling right now but oh my gosh I couldn’t stop myself from eating the batter! Haha I can’t wait to serve these to my friends. I used Lily’s semi sweet chocolate chips and monkfruit for the sweetener.
