Chewy Keto Brookies: The BEST Low-Carb Treat!
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a 9×13 metal baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment.
- Prepare the keto caramel sauce, omitting the water, and let cool while preparing the rest of the recipe.
- Prepare the coconut flour brownies as directed, but reduce the sweetener to 1/2 cup. Do not make the frosting. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan and drizzle the top with about 1/3 of the cooled caramel sauce.
- Prepare the keto chocolate chip cookies as directed, except omit the walnuts and reduce the sweetener to 1/2 cup. Hold back some of the chocolate chips. Use your fingers to crumble the cookie dough into small portions and sprinkle it over the top of the brownie batter.
- Bake the bars for 18 to 25 minutes, until the brownie batter is just set (the cookie part may still be a little soft). Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips, then let cool completely in the pan.
- Lift the bars out carefully by the overhanging edges of parchment. Drizzle with more caramel sauce and cut into 20 bars.
Notes
– Ensure your keto caramel sauce is completely cooled before drizzling it over the brownie batter. This prevents it from sinking too much during baking and helps create distinct layers.
– If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, use a higher percentage dark chocolate for your chocolate chips. Taste the brownie and cookie dough before baking to adjust sweetener if needed.
– Store leftover keto brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.

Pro tips
- For the fudgiest texture, do not overbake the brookies. The center should still be slightly soft when removed from the oven, as it will continue to set as it cools.
