Keto And Vegan Pumpkin Brownies Recipes

KETO AND VEGAN PUMPKIN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8"x 8" pan with parchment paper.
• Take a medium-sized bowl or a blender bowl. Add melted coconut oil and combine it with pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix or blend them well to get a smooth, creamy mixture.
• In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: almond flour, pumpkin spice, brown sweetener, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Don't add the chocolate chips just yet!
• Add the coconut oil and pumpkin mixture and mix for 2 minutes until completely incorporated.
• Add in chocolate chips and fold using a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
• Pour the batter evenly in the pre-prepared pan and bake for between 35-40 minutes. Make sure the brownies are cooked through by inserting a toothpick - it should come out still moist but kind of clean.
• Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely. Don't cut them until they're at room temperature.
• For the optional topping, melt some chocolate chips in the microwave in 10-second intervals until smooth, and immediately drizzle over your brownies. Top with walnuts (optionally) and enjoy!

VEGAN PUMPKIN BROWNIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Blend pumpkin puree, 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil, 3 tablespoons orange juice, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Refrigerate pumpkin swirl until needed.
• Combine hot water and flaxseed meal in a small bowl. Stir and let soak for about 5 minutes.
• Combine flaxseed mixture, almond flour, sugar, 3 tablespoons orange juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a blender and process. Transfer to a bowl. Stir melted chocolate, pecans, baking powder, salt, and pepper into brownie mixture.
• Spread brownie mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread pumpkin swirl on top. Run a knife through the mixture to create a pretty marbled look.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and return to the hot oven. Bake until brownies are set, about 20 minutes more. Cool completely before slicing and serving, about 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.
