You simply can’t go wrong with this gooey Keto Brownie Pie. So rich and chocolatey, it’s the ultimate low carb treat for diehard brownie lovers!
Just think about it. Just close your eyes and let your imagination take over. Fudgy keto brownies baked inside my famous keto pie crust. Can you picture it? And doesn’t it look simply divine?
It tastes divine too! The sweet brownie center has a truffle-like quality that yields willingly to your fork. And the contrast with the buttery pie crust is delightful.
This is actually an older recipe that I decided to update recently. I made it easier and it has fewer carbs. How’s that for service?
Why you need to try this recipe
This Brownie Pie brings together two of my most popular recipes. I made the crust as I always do, and pre-baked it. This helps it firm up properly before you add the brownie mixture.
I did modify the brownie filling just a little, so that it fit better inside the crust. I also used all my tricks to maximize the gooeyness of the filling. The end result is a decadent keto dessert that has only 2.9g net carbs per serving.
Add a dollop of keto vanilla ice cream and maybe a drizzle of sugar free chocolate syrup, and you are in dessert heaven!
Ingredients you need

- Keto Pie Crust: I use my basic low carb pie crust because I like the contrast with the chocolate filling. If you prefer a chocolate crust, try the one from my Keto Chocolate Mousse Pie.
- Almond flour: There is a little almond flour in the filling as well, to give it more of a brownie consistency.
- Sweeteners: I use two sweeteners in this recipe: Swerve Brown for flavor and allulose for maximum gooeyness. You can switch up the sweeteners but the consistency may suffer a little.
- Cocoa powder: Use dutch process cocoa for a better chocolate flavor.
- Collagen protein powder: Collagen is another ingredient that adds to the gooey consistency. You could also use 2 teaspoons of grassfed gelatin. If you prefer not to, don’t use any other protein powder in its place, as it will make the filling cake-y.
- Chocolate chips: Your favorite brand of keto chocolate chips will work for this recipe. I like Lily’s or ChocZero.
- Kitchen staples: Eggs, butter, salt, vanilla extract.
Step by Step Directions
1. Pre-bake the crust: Press the crust into the bottom and sides of the prepared pan, coming only 3/4 of the way up the sides. Crimp the edges decoratively and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
2. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, allulose, Swerve, cocoa powder, collagen, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the butter, eggs, egg yolk, coffee, and vanilla extract until the batter is well combined. Spread the batter in the cooled crust.
4. Bake: Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until set around the edges but still a little wet looking in the center. Remove and let cool completely.
Expert Tips
I love adding just a touch of coffee to keto desserts like this, as it intensifies the chocolate flavor without making it taste like coffee. But you can use water if you prefer.
The extra egg yolk helps make the filling more rich and gooey. You can use the leftover white in any one of my Egg White Recipes!
Adding collagen protein powder also helps make the filling more gooey and fudgy. If you don’t have collagen, you can add 2 teaspoons of gelatin instead. You can skip it if you need to but don’t use any other kind of protein powder. It will make the filling more cake-y.
Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed flour in both the crust and the filling, in the same amount as the almond flour.

How do you store this? Thanks.
This sounds delicious. Can I use a premade pecan crust instead?
Can I use whey protein or powdered collagen peptides? It is all I have.
Collagen peptides and collagen protein powder are the same thing.
This was phenomenal! So fudgy and rich and decadent. Followed recipe exactly annd refrigerated several hours. Then topped with keto store bought whipped cream (due to lack of time) and choc zero chocolate syrup drizzle.
Made for hubby’s birthday hoping he wouldn’t cheat during family celebration of 3 birthdays. He did – had cake at restaurant and cake at their house. When I let him try MY slice of pie he immediately said it was better than the full sugar two he had eaten earlier. And only one of us got heartburn. Not me ever with keto!
This is my fav keto baked good so far. Looks great and no one would even tell it’s low card and sugar free. A real winner!
So glad you liked it!
