FAQs

Q: Are these brownies truly keto?
A: Yes. They use almond flour and a sugar substitute, which keeps net carbs low.

Q: Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
A: No, not directly. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid. If you want to use it, reduce the amount and add more eggs or liquid. It is easier to stick with almond flour.

Q: What sweetener can I use instead of erythritol?
A: You can use monk fruit blend or another keto-friendly sweetener that measures like sugar. Follow package notes for equivalent amounts.

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Use a non-dairy butter substitute that melts and behaves like butter. The texture may change slightly.

Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: Insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
