¾ cup peanut butter or any nut or seed butter of choice (192g), room temp
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp of hot water
1 tsp vanilla
6 tbsp cocoa powder, Hershey's Special dark
½ cup keto sugar
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2.5 - 3 tbsp of keto chocolate chips
Sea salt, to garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix ground flax with hot water. Set aside to thicken.
In a separate bowl, using a spatula, mix peanut butter, pumpkin puree, vanilla.
Add in the dry ingredients - cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and mix until fully combined.
Add in the flax eggs and continue mixing with a spatula. Note: using a spatula is the easiest way to mix it, since the batter is thicker than regular batters.
Spread the batter evenly into a lined 8x8" pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 16-20 mins until top is set and the center install soft and fudge. (16 mins for more fudgy brownies)
Set aside to cool then fridge until chilled. Cut and serve.
