Are Brownies Keto-Friendly
Are brownies keto? Well, vegan keto pumpkin brownies are as magical as they sound- covering just about every diet regime you can think of! Even my kids love them, so you can accommodate anyone; no sweat.
Almond flour brownies are keto-friendly. You can also use coconut flour instead. If you use almond flour, please use blanched almond flour, not almond meal. Almond meal is made with the skin of the nuts, so it will have a grainy texture that isn’t pleasant in your brownies.
A Dessert With Plant-Based Vitamins
I’m constantly trying to find the best sources for the vitamins and minerals my body needs. My conclusion? You can’t go wrong with plant-based! This keto pumpkin brownies recipe calls for absolutely no dairy. They’re good for weaning off the unnecessary parts of your diet while enjoying a chocolaty treat.
Health Benefits Of Vegan Dessert
This vegan dessert is so good for your body. Here are just a few of the many health benefits of it.
Did you know that eating milk, butter, and eggs in one sitting means that you will consume lots of excess cholesterol and saturated fat? This is why eating vegan actually helps you live a longer life.
Trading out these ingredients for peanut butter means you’re still getting protein- just plant-based! It’s a great egg substitute for all your favorite keto dessert recipes, too.
Pumpkin adds a unique flavor, is antioxidant-rich, and promotes weight loss. Keto pumpkin recipes make them the ultimate superfoods.
These brownies are gluten-free because they are made with almond flour.

Plant-Based Sweeteners
If you aren’t concerned about it being keto-friendly, use regular brown sugar instead of Swerve. Other vegan sugar alternatives include:
- Maple syrup
- Date
- Brown rice syrup
- Coconut sugar
If you want this to be sugar-free, you can use Swerve. According to their website, Swerve is not made with any animal ingredients, so you can eat it on a vegan diet.
How To Give Brownies A Cake Texture
These vegan keto pumpkin brownies are fudgy and delicious- but if you’d like a cakey texture, add an extra 1⁄4 cup almond flour or 3 tbsp coconut flour.
This recipe makes keto brownies easy and affordable. Don’t waste time looking for a vegan brownie mix, they’re not as accessible so utilize what you have at home! It’s also an excuse to bake with my kids and make a fun fall activity out of it.
Keto Brownie Toppings And Add-Ins
There are lots of ways you can change these brownies and make them totally different.
I like to spread keto buttercream frosting over them and let my kids decorate them.
Another fun idea is to mix some walnuts in with the batter. This gives the Keto brownies a delightful crunch (and extra protein).
What To Serve With Keto Brownies
These fall keto desserts also pair well with tangy apple cider or a rich wine for adult guests. Try with this Whipped Coffee recipe.
How To Store Pumpkin Brownies
How long will vegan keto pumpkin brownies stay good? Up to a week! Store in your original baking dish in the fridge for 1-2 days after the brownies have cooled. You can enjoy them for a few more days by simply dividing them into squares and transferring them to an airtight container.
Can You Freeze Almond Flour Brownies
Yes, you can freeze almond flour brownies! Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet first, then put them all in a zippered freezer bag once they’re more solid. Reheat when you’re ready to dive back in.
