This coconut flour brownies recipe is so loaded with chocolaty flavor and fudgy texture, it will satisfy all those chocolate cravings. My classic keto almond flour brownies are always my fave keto chocolate dessert, but for my nut-free readers, let me show you how to make keto brownies with coconut flour that are just as delicious. And did I mention that they bake up soft and rich (never dry)?! And, if you love brownies as much as I do, try my zucchini brownies next.
Coconut flour recipes sometimes get a bad reputation for being dry, but just like classic treats like coconut flour blueberry muffins, coconut flour pancakes, coconut flour chocolate chip cookies, and keto sugar cookies, it’s totally possible to make keto brownies using coconut flour with the right technique — and the right ingredients.
Why You’ll Love These Coconut Flour Brownies
- Deep and rich chocolate flavor
- Fudgy texture (NOT dry or gritty!)
- Uses low carb, simple ingredients
- Done in 30 minutes flat
- Rich in fiber to keep carbs low (just 1.7g net carbs per serving!)
- Loaded with melted chocolate chips
Ingredients & Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best healthy ingredients for keto brownies made with coconut flour, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
- ChocZero Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips -For the best coconut flour keto brownies, you need the best sugar-free chocolate… which is why I use these chips in AND on top of this dessert! They create the most fudgy coconut flour brownies without any white sugar, sugar alcohols, gluten, or GMOs.
- Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – I highly recommend this particular sugar substitute for this recipe, since it measures just like sugar and gives the brownies a softer, fudgier texture. Other sweeteners can make the brownies more dry.
- Butter – I use a grass-fed variety, but any unsalted kind will work. Coconut oil may work as a dairy free alternative, but the texture and flavor of the brownies will be a bit different. You can also use ghee to make them paleo brownies.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Adds more chocolaty flavor! Use a high-quality kind if you can — you’ll taste the difference. Cacao powder works fine as well.
- Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour – Essential for a keto brownie recipe using coconut flour! 😉 This one is made with just one ingredient and naturally rich in fiber. You won’t taste the coconut flavor.
- Eggs – Help hold the brownies together. Egg substitutes like flax eggs might work, but I haven’t tried to confirm.
- Heavy Cream – Or full fat coconut milk should also work.
- Vanilla Extract – Enhances the rich chocolate flavors.
- Sea Salt – Balances the sweet taste.
How To Make Coconut Flour Brownies
This section shows how to make coconut flour keto brownies with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Melt. Gently melt butter and chocolate chips in a double boiler. Set aside to cool.
- Add wet ingredients. Transfer the butter mixture to a food processor and add eggs, vanilla, and heavy cream. Pulse until combined.
TIP: Use room-temperature wet ingredients for best results. Otherwise, your butter and chocolate mixture could get clumpy.
- Prep dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, stir cocoa powder, sweetener, coconut flour, and salt.
- Combine. Combine the wet butter mixture and dry cocoa mixture in the food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Spread. Pour batter to the prepared pan and spread to the corners. Top with more chocolate chips.
- Bake. They are done when they are barely set on the edges, but still soft in the center.
TIP: Do NOT follow the traditional “toothpick” rule. Instead of waiting until an inserted toothpick comes out cleanly, you’ll want just a small amount of batter on it. A clean toothpick may mean your brownies got too dry.
- Cool. Let your brownies cool completely before slicing them.
Are Coconut Flour Brownies Keto?
Brownies with coconut flour might be keto, but it depends on the other ingredients used — always check nutrition facts to be certain. These brownies clock in at just 1.7g net carbs each, making them perfect for a keto diet!
Why Are My Brownies Dry?
Dry brownies could happen for several reasons:
- Over-baking. If you waited until the toothpick test yielded a clean toothpick, the brownies were over-baked.
- Different sweetener. Sugar alcohols such as erythritol will create a less-soft brownie.
- Over-measuring. Be careful measuring coconut flour! Using even a little bit extra can create dry results.
Storage Instructions
- To store: Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-4 days.
- To freeze: Wrap in plastic, then store in a freezer-safe bag or container for 4-6 months. Thaw in wrapping overnight before serving.

0Fabulous 🤩 Great as a dessert as well, non Keto guests couldn’t believe it was pretty healthy. Needed to cool fully before cutting though. I used Cacau and dropped the sugar a bit and they were great, 1-2 pieces were plenty as a dessert serving.
Jessica
0Pretty tasty! Definitely not like a real brownie, but nothing keto tastes like the real deal! Be careful moving/cutting, mine fell apart a bit, probably because it was a bit warm still. I may try the avocado brownies next time to compare. Thanks for the recipe!
Susan Muller
0I don’t have unsalted butter. Will regular butter minus the salt work? Thanks💕
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Susan, Yes, you can do that.
Susan Muller
0Thanks! Can’t wait to make them today!💕
Dave H.
0I made these for the first time last night. The whole house smelled like chocolate. I couldn’t wait to eat them as I am a severe chocoholic. They did not disappoint. But, interestingly, I did not eat the entire batch like I thought I would. Two at a time are enough to satisfy me, and I don’t crave them like I do full-sugar treats. I will make them again and again. But first, I will have to order a ton more ChocZero dark chocolate chips and Besti monk fruit allulose sweetener.
Tisha
0Thank you for this recipe. It is surprisingly good. I have had a hard time learning to like desserts that aren’t loaded with sugar. I only used a little less than 1 cup of chocolate chips (because that’s all I had) and added an avocado. This will be my go to for my chocolate craving.
Chiara
0Great recipe, very easy to make and absolutely delicious!
Sharon
0Very simple and delicious!!! Thank you for sharing!
Lisa
0Super delish! First time buying several of these ingredients! This recipe is a winner! Do not be tempted to over bake! Toothpick should be a little gooey!
Michelle
0What if I don’t have a double broiler for the chocolate chips?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Michelle, You can melt the chocolate in the microwave, but you will have to watch it closely because it can burn quickly.
Linda
0These brownies were so rich and fudgy. I really like that it’s all coconut flour because I have an intolerance to almonds. I had some KAF espresso powder and added some to make the chocolate flavor stand out. This is the last brownie recipe you will ever need. I’ve tried way too many keto brownie recipes and they all ended up like chocolate cake. This one is the best!
Debbie Mangurten
0Hi. I may have missed it but you list besti monk fruit allulose blend in ingredients. But I don’t see it mentioned in the instructions section.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Debbie, Besti is mentioned in direction #4.
Lyndy
0These are very rich and delicious!
Lori Bauer
0Do you think I could add unsweetened coconut flakes and create a type of ‘mounds’ bar? I haven’t tried this recipe yet but it looks great.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Lori, I do think that would work in this recipe.
Tammy Quantz
0These were amazing! Finally found a recipe that only has coconut flour as most Keto recipes I am covering from almond. My hubby is allergic to nuts so it can be a challenge sometimes. He LOVES these brownies and he’s not a chocolate guy!!
Michelle
0My brownies have not come out thick and fudgey both times I’ve made them. In fact, the second go round they are gritty in texture. What did I do wrong?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Michelle, Sorry to hear that! Are you using Besti sweetener? Other sweeteners are the most common reason for gritty brownies in this recipe.
Sheri Gartman
0Can I use straight Allulose and/or Swerve or Erythritol? I don’t have the Monk Fruit blend. Thank you.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Sheri, I don’t recommend Swerve or other erythritol-based sweeteners for brownies, as there’s a noticeable cooling effect and the sweetener doesn’t dissolve fully, sometimes leaving a gritty texture. You can get Besti here, which yields the best result in this recipe in terms of taste and texture (makes them super fudgy!), but plain allulose will work as well (you’ll need 33% more).
Doris
0If you love chocolate you’ll love these brownies. They’re almost like fudge. I only baked them for 20 minutes and they came out just perfect. Next time I might add some chopped walnuts or pecans. Another great recipe from Wholesomeyum!
Carol
0We love walnuts, can you add walnuts to this recipe. Can’t wait to try it.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Carol, Absolutely! Enjoy!
Paty
0Thanks for the recipe!!!! Easy and delicious.
Trudy
0G’day, I am about to make these and was wanting to know if i needed to add the heavy cream. (what is it for) as i havent got any and it is a long way to a store.
Is there anything else i could use?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Trudy, Feel free to increase the butter by 2 tablespoons. Enjoy!
K Landon
0I’d really like to make these, but I don’t have a food processor. Why is it necessary and is there a suitable substitute? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi K Landon, I think a food processor gives the best results, but a hand or stand mixer would work well too. Enjoy!
Shelagh Tillott
0These look so delicious but I don’t have a food processor so wondering if I could use my Ninja?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Shelagh, I have not tested this recipe with that machine, but it should work. Please let us know if you decide to try it!
Lisalia
0Chocolate, coconut, heavy cream, eggs… this recipe looked too good to be true. And it tasted heavenly! What a delicious brownie. Thanks for all the tips and tricks to make them perfectly textured too!
Amy L Huntley
0I love that these brownies are made out of coconut flour. So rich, dense and chocolatey!
John Inferrera
0I watch my Suger also. How much sugar per serving
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi John, These brownies use a keto-friendly sweetener in place of sugar. One Coconut Flour Brownie is 0.3 grams of sugar. Feel free to check out the recipe card for the full nutrition facts.

Kristyn
0I sure love the added flavor & texture the coconut flour gives. And, the fact that you added chocolate chips makes them amazing!
Natalie
0Fudgy & hardly any carbs are my kind of brownies!! They are thick & chocolate-y too, which makes them an even better brownie.
