Ingredients

For the brownies:

1 cup granular erythritol 192 grams
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1.5 sticks
¾ cup pure pumpkin puree 180 grams
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 whole eggs, room temperature
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted 100% unsweetened Baker's chocolate
¾ cup almond flour 84 grams
¼ cup dutch process cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coconut flour about 8 grams
1.33 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice or to taste
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon xanthan gum to hold brownies together
1 tablespoon instant coffee optional, enhances chocolate flavor
¾ cup sugar free chocolate chips 132 grams

For the chocolate ganache (optional, but delicious):

1 ounce sugar free chocolate chips 28 grams
¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

For the Brownies:

Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease a 9x9 baking pan then line with parchment.
In a large bowl, cream together your melted butter and sweetener for 2 minutes. Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extra, cream together for another 2 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time, then beat for 10 minutes to add air to the batter.
Add the melted chocolate to the batter and mix well. Sift in your dry ingredients, then mix until just combined.
Fold your chocolate chips into the batter, mix until combined, then add to your parchment lined baking sheet. Use your rubber spatula to press it down evenly and into all of the corners. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 45 minutes, then cut into 12 pieces.

For the chocolate ganache:

Now, warm your heavy whipping cream until just boiling, then immediately remove from the heat. Add your chocolate chips, allow to sit for 5 minutes, then whisk to combine until smooth.
Glaze the top of the brownies with the chocolate ganache and enjoy! Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (optional) and some optional and super cute pumpkin chocolates!
