Ingredients

Brownies
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree 250g, room temperature
  • 1 cup almond flour 100g
  • 2 eggs larger, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sweetener 65g, or more to taste
  • ½ cup cacao powder, unsweetened 45g
  • ¼ cup coconut oil or melted butter 55g
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice optional
Chocolate Drizzle (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips or 2 squares of dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 Celsius/350 Fahrenheit (electric) or 160C / 320F (fan).
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Add all wet ingredients. You can mix with a blender or even with a fork.
  4. Check the sweetness and add more sweetener if required.
  5. Line a baking tin with parchment paper (mine was 15x20 cm) and fill with the mixture.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. The brownies will be very soft in the beginning, but they firm up once cool.
  7. If desired, melt the sugar free or dark chocolate plus 1 teaspoon of butter/coconut oil and drizzle over the fully cooled brownies.

Notes

  • 3g net carbs per portion. Makes 8 generously sized squares.
  • Option to add a pinch of sea salt to the batter.
  • I made one batch with ground almonds and one with almond flour. Both work well.
  • If you prefer a more cake-like texture, add an extra 25g/1/4 cup almond flour or 3 tablespoon coconut flour.
  • If you do not have pumpkin spice to hand, sub with cinnamon.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
