Imagine gooey, chocolatey, grain-free brownies with a chocolate glaze, giving you that brownie comfort we all love and right now we all need. These grain free brownies bring you gooey deliciousness without grains, sugar or gluten and made in a sheet pan.
They are low carb, keto friendly and has a dairy free option. It’s sold in my bakery as a triple chocolate brownie cake and people love them.
Make Grain free, Sugar Free Brownies for Your Family in these Tough Times
It’s hard to not talk about what is happening right now as Nashville has had a double whammy with a tornado and now this pandemic, putting far too many people immediately out of work. Just a month ago, it was hard to find servers and restaurant staff.
I have a lot of mixed feelings as my keto bakery is still open, while restaurant after restaurant is closing down. I’ve had to think on my feet quickly and make changes. I had to postpone all my baking classes, which are held in my house, even though there are only six clients and 3 of us staffing. Clients have been so nice and haven’t asked for refunds. They want to wait.
I hope these easy to make grain free brownies will be something they can do easily while waiting for my classes to open up.
I took the idea from my very popular Keto Texas sheet cake recipe. You see I’ve made keto brownies here before, but I could never get the real gooey part down that I was craving.
What Sweetener Makes the Best Keto Grain Free Brownies?
There are three things that give some sweetness to these brownies. Swerve granulated is used for the cake and Swerve confectioner’s sweetener is used for the chocolate glaze. Read here why I use Swerve.
What Chocolate do you use for Grain Free Brownies?
As far as the unsweetened cocoa powder, I am a huge fan of Better Body Foods Cacao and will only use this brand in my bakery after testing several different unsweetened cocoa powders.
I used sugar free chocolate syrup from Choc Zero, which helps add to the gooey texture and their sugar free chocolate chips. You can order directly from them and save 10% using my affiliate code SPINACHTIGER. Go here to order.
What flours do you use for grain free brownies?
We use blanched almond flour and coconut flour. If you only want a low-carb coconut flour brownie, I have this recipe.
As an affiliate, I earn a commission on each sale. I suggest you stock up on their maple syrup also, because it’s heaven. If you order a certain amount, you get free shipping. So far, they make the best sugar free chocolate I’ve tasted.
Bake in Quarter Sheet Pan with Parchment Paper
Just like the Grain free Texas Sheet Cake, these grain free brownies are baked in a quarter sheet pan. That measures about 9 x 13, so bake accordingly if you don’t have a quarter sheet pan. I also use parchment paper, overlapping while baking so they are easy to lift out.
What is the Nutrition Value for Grain Free Brownies?
There are 2 net carbs per serving. There are 16 brownies per quarter sheet pan. See recipe for further breakdown.
This is an absolutely perfect recipe and my friend, Jennifer who is the major Keto bake tester and taster (because she’s really good at it) had a hard time eating these in moderation. In fact, we all did. We had to stick them in the freezer.
Another option for this brownie is a peanut butter topping, which might be coming soon, which I’m working on this weekend.

I made it once using some substitutes that I had on hand and they were good. I made it a second time exactly as written and they were OUT OF THIS WORLD EXTRAORDINARY! My partner doesn’t even like sweets (and has zero interest in any type of diet), and I had to fight him not to eat them all. Because I WANT THEM ALL FOR MYSELF! About to make another pan, but had to leave some love and some thanks before I do. Literally the only keto-Friendly dessert I have enjoyed. Thank you!!!

THANK YOU for writing. You have just reminded me to put these back on the menu of my keto bakery.
I made these because I had a serious chocolate craving but had to freeze them before I could sample. I was a little discouraged by the thickness of the batter and also by the roughness of the baked appearance but I glazed them, portioned and froze them for later. WOW they are SO good! really excellent, perfect in every way and I will be making these Very Often now FOR SURE. Make them and Don’t Miss Out!
PS I was out of chips and had to use a chopped up Stevia Sweetened chocolate bar but that worked out just fine. 🙂
Hi Ahura,
I’m glad you stuck with them. They are so good.
These are amazing. Finally a keto brownie that had all the gooey, fudgeness that I have been missing. I made them without the topping and served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
Thanks for this. It is a keeper
Tbis is a really good cake and super easy. It has a very moist, spongy texture unlike many dense keto cakes. The frosting hardens a bit and is like candy if you keep it in the fridge. Super chocolaty and fabulous with a cup of nut milk.
I used to have a recipe pre Keto for a peanut butter sheet cake with pourover peanut frosting. I am going to the recipe using peanut powder to substitute all the cocoa powder. Do you think that will work?
Kathy I will try that. By the way for the brownies, you can also use my new ganache recipe. I do that in the bakery.
These grain free gooey brownies are flipping DELICIOUS!!! I made a batch last week and my husband, who is NOT a sugar free/grain free fan requested another batch of them. So, that’s on my list to make today. Thanks so much for such a great recipe!
Yay!
