Brownies are one of my favourite desserts because they’re full of chocolate, delicious and easy to make. This Sugar-free Fudgy Walnut Brownies recipe is rich, very moist, ridiculously decadent, super chocolatey and chewy. Oh I can’t forget to mention that it’s healthier than the regular recipes. Wow this is the best part; I mean I can enjoy this delicious brownie without feeling guilt about it.
I can say for sure that these fudgy brownies are the most indulgent sugar-free chocolate treat you’ll ever make. Plus, they’re low-carb, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and kid approved. My 3 years old boy loved them so much that he’ll gladly eat a plate of Roasted Parmesan Green Beans for a piece of this brownie! Want some more brownie recipes?

The main ingredients you need to make these Sugar-free Fudgy Walnut Brownies:
Almond Flour: It’s great flour for low-carb/keto/sugar-free baking treats. But, there are a lot of different brands and which one can create different results. I like to use Bob’s Red Mill flour (not a sponsor post), because it’s a very finely ground blanched almond flour.
Grass-fed butter, Avocado oil, Coconut oil: Here you’ll use a very good quality oil and it doesn’t taste so strong.
Sugar-free Chocolate Chips: In my option, the best sugar-free chocolate chips in the market right now is Lily’s Chocolate chips. I love this one because it’s a premium dark chocolate, dairy-free and stevia-sweetened. I highly recommend it and the taste is amazing.
Sweetener: There are lots of sweeteners out there, but for me the three best natural ones are – Xylitol (my favourite choice because there isn’t aftertaste and perfect for keto friendly baked goods like my Keto Chocolate Bars Recipe), Lakanto (also almost no aftertaste and it contains no calories and no carbs) and last but not least is Swerve (it has some cooling sensation after eating a treat made with this sweetener).
Do brownies freeze well?
Yes, they do. Place your leftover brownies in an airtight container or silicone bag. Thenfreeze up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw at room temperature or microwave it for 15 seconds.
For how long should I bake brownie?
It’s about 20 minutes at 350F. Please, do not over-bake it because it may become dry and crumbly. It’ll be done when the center is just about to set, since it’ll be completely set as it cools down completely.

Ingredients
- 2/3 + 1/3 cups sugar-free chocolate chips I love Lily`s Chocolate Chip because it’s a premium dark chocolate, dairy-free and stevia-sweetened.
- 5 tablespoon grass fed butter or coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup natural sweetener I used this one because it doesn’t have aftertaste
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup raw walnut chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, add 2/3 cup of chocolate chips and melted butter. Bring the saucepan to a low-heat and stir gently the chocolate chips until it’s totally melted and smooth. Then, remove from heat, let it cool down and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add sugar, eggs and vanilla and whisk together until smooth.
- In the same bowl, add all the dry ingredients (almond flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt) and mix well to combine.
- Now, pour the melted chocolate into the same bowl and stir to combine.
- Fold in 1/3 cup chocolate chips and walnut.
- Pour batter into your prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until edges are set and the center is just a little underdone. When you remove from the oven, the remaining heat should set the center. Don’t over bake it because it may be dry and crumbly.
- Place the baking pan on a wire rack and let it cools down for 10 minutes. Then, cut into squares. Enjoy!
Tips
- For clean beautiful cuts, you can run your knife under hot water between each slice.
- Make sure you don't over-mix the batter or you'll end up with tough brownies.
- Sift the dry ingredients to avoid a lumpy batter.
- To store: Store the brownies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- To reheat: You can eat the brownies cold or reheat them in the microwave.
- To freeze: You can freeze the brownies in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

Is that 1/2 teaspoon of monkfruit? Or 1/2 cup? Or? thanks!
Olivia says
It’s 1/2 cup. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi Olivia!
I Love this recipe! I used coconut flour and 1/2 cup of date puree for the sweetener and it turned out great, but I also took it out of the oven a bit earlier so it wouldn’t be too dry.
I have a question, since I’m not a math genius, and have no idea how to even convert this. I doubled the recipe, and yet put it in a 9 x 13 glass dish, and cut each piece to yield 24 brownies. How do you convert the nutritional info, since it’s not exactly doubled in the yield (or, 32 pieces)???
Thanks!
Christy

I answered to your email 😉

Just an FYI, as an emergency vet….. xylitol is very toxic to animals, can drop blood glucose and/ or cause liver failure in dogs. Although chocolate itself is also toxic so people are unlikely to feed the brownies, we recommend not having it in a home with pets without taking real care the pet never gets into it.
Yvanova says
Hi, thank you for the recipe. I just have One question about the oven, do you use a conventional fan-assisted Oven or convention NON- fan assisted Oven? Thank you again.
Olivia says
I use conventional fan-assisted Oven.
Sara says
How many walnuts?
Olivia says
It’s 1/3 cup. Thanks for pointing it out!
HAlah says
Is this recipe keto ?
Olivia says
Yes it’s keto/low-carb if you use sweetener.
Steph says
came out super duper dry but the flavour is fantastic! Anything to improve or did I make a mistake?
Kim says
I cooked at 325 instead of 350 for 20 minutes, but it still crumbled horribly. The taste was great, but texture was a -.
Olivia says
Thank you for trying the recipe and for your feedback! Baking at a lower temperature might have affected the texture. Next time, try baking at 350°F for the recommended time to help the brownies set properly. You could also add a bit more binding agent, like an extra egg, to help with the structure. I’m glad you enjoyed the taste and hope these tips help with the texture!
Edward Mikan says
Ulsome probably the most moist chewy brownies we’ve made!!
Olivia says
Indeed it is 😉
Angie says
Could you substitute applesauce or mashed bananas for the sweetener? I’m trying to avoid artificial/ chemical filled sweeteners. I’m pre diabetic I certainly don’t want to add liver/kidney problems or cancer to the list! Lol. TIA
Olivia says
Sorry I’m not sure because I’ve never made this recipe in a different way!
