My chocolate keto brookies recipe was originally posted way back in July 2018. It needed a lot of love and a bit of revamp in both the recipe and the pictures. I have to say it was fun to remake and shoot these incredibly delicious surprisingly sugar free cookies.
Have a quick read through the post for some tips on the ingredients and baking. Plus, I have included a Top 5 of my best keto cookies on the website for you to discover too.
Keto Brookies Ingredients
Making your own healthy brookies at home is easy. Most of the ingredients you will already have in your pantry.
I have used gelatin and collagen for good gut health. Plus, their addition to the keto brookies recipe make the brookie chewy and delicious. Please note you do not have dissolve the gelatin just follow the recipe steps as written.
As always, I use a double acting baking powder. Bobs Red Mill or Lotus Pantry do not contain aluminium so you do not get any aftertaste or bitterness from the baking powder.
For the sweetener, I use Sukrin erythritol/steviol sweetener. As erythritol recrystallizes upon cooling this also makes the brookies crisp.
Cell Squared have an amazing range of clean keto-friendly pantry items. I have used the unsweetened cacao, salt flakes and coconut butter in this recipe.
How to make them step by step
The recipe for the brookies is super simple and even the kids can help make these at home. A simple “mix it together” roll and bake the brookies take less than 10 minutes to get into the oven. Honestly, the hardest bit is waiting for them to cool.
I have included a thermomix keto brookie recipe and method. We have a load of thermie fans and this recipe is incredibly easy to make in your mixer.
mix the dough and fold through the nuts and choc chips 
roll and place onto the prepared baking sheet 
bake until slightly firm and leave to crisp 
drizzle with chocolate for a sweet keto treat
Why the addition of collagen and gelatin?
I have added collagen and gelatin for claimed health benefits but also to give a little bit of chew and crispness to these brookies.
Collagen and gelatin are not only included in the keto brownie cookies but also quite a lot of my baking recipes.
Collagen has been mentioned to help with
- joint pain
- reduce hair loss
- strengthen nails
- improve metabolism
- prevent skin dryness and wrinkles
- improve muscle mass
- decrease bone degeneration
- help leaky gut
- protect cardiovascular health
- benefit liver health and function

Notes
INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTES
Butter can be replaced with nut butter for a dairy free and paleo brookie recipe.
Egg can be replaced with 1/4 of an avocado or chia egg for an egg free brookie.
To make a keto vegan brookie swap the ingredients as above and omit the collagen and gelatin. Add 2 tsp of agar agar instead.
Coconut butter adds a delicious flavour to the brookie. Extra virgin firm coconut oil can be used instead.
For a nut free brookie replace the almond meal with lupin flour or sesame flour. Alternatively omit the flour and butter and replace with 200g seed butter.
I use Cell Squared unsweetened cacao powder.
BAKING TIPS
I use a fan forced oven. For a static oven increase the temperature to 190-200°C.
Allow a little room for the cookies to spread on the baking tray.
STORAGE
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Alternatively, these cookies can be frozen in a ziplock bag.

Hello there! I am new to the use of gelatin and collagen, so sorry for my ignorance but do you dissolve the gelatin and the collagen in hot water before? And if so, how much water?
Thank you
Hi Jen, No need just add it tp the brownie mixture as per the steps.
Do you have to use the erythritol?
You can use any choice of sweetener Sam
