- 2 eggs, room temperature, beaten
- 3/4 cup almond flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper (use enough parchment paper that the edges fold outside the rim of the pan).
- Melt coconut oil in microwave.
- In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and whisk until well-combined.

Mary Ann Roberts says
My daughter just made these and the batter was REALLY thick! Your directions say to ” pour into the prepared pan”. So we added almond milk to make it “pourable”
Now it’s taking much longer to bake. Is the batter supposed to be thick or pourable?
Sara Nelson says
Hi, Mary Ann! The instruction saying to “pour” was poor wording on my part, apologies! It should be scrape, as the batter will be very thick. I have updated the instructions to reflect that. How did it turn out with the additional liquid in there?
Lauren Walsh says
I just made this recipe (subbing the cocoa for cacao and the golden monkfruit for the classic) and it was even better than I thought it would be for a sugar free brownie! But, just so you know, we called the company for the monkfruit sweetener you reccommended, “Lakanto”, and found out that it contains erithrotol which is made from corn (and in some cases tapioca). So wouldn’t it not be Keto anymore? I just wanted to let you know of this newly found info. ?
realbalanced says
So glad you enjoyed, Lauren!!! And, a ketogenic diet is very personal and everyone’s diets look very different; the goal of a ketogenic diet is to reach and maintain ketosis. So, if you choose to incorporate erythritol into your diet, great! If not, that’s great too! I personally love and use monk fruit sweetener every single day and remain in ketosis.

Jenn says
can you use coconut sugar in place of the monk fruit sweetener?
realbalanced says
Yes, but they just won’t be low-carb/keto then.
Angela Lucas says
Hi Sara. I have just made these. I mixed all dry n
Ingredients together to start with and I think here you said slowly mix in almond flour did you ean coconut oil? Once done my mixture was not pourable or even spreadable so I had to add about 1/3 rd cup of almond milk. It has just come out of the oven and is cooling so I’ll get back to you about how this worked. Just wanted to know if your recipe had the correct instructions? Thanks 🙂
realbalanced says
hi, Angela! The two eggs and melted coconut oil should be enough liquid! I did just go in and rephrase step #4 so that it is more clear. Thank you for that feedback!! I hope yours worked out with the addition of the almond milk (I would think they would!).
Tannia says
I started Keto a few weeks ago and I’m really enjoying your recipes. But, I’m allergic to almonds so I can’t make recipes using almond flour. Is it possible to use coconut or pecan flour or do you have recipes for alternative flours? I’d appreciate it very much.
realbalanced says
hi, Tannia! Thanks so much for your comment! So, nut flours and coconut flour are all very different, so I can’t say for sure how well they would replace one another in specific recipes. I do have a Fudge Fat Bombs recipe that uses coconut flour (you can sub the almond butter for another nut butter of your choosing). I really appreciate that feedback and am going to work hard on getting more nut-free recipes tested and developed!
