These moist keto brownies with a swirl of peanut butter is a great low carb dessert. A delicious combination of chocolate and peanut butter is always welcome.
These keto brownies are just so soft. Luckily for me the Chief Taster was travelling so I got to be the sole taster. I normally let the brownies cool before eating but curiousity got the better of me. Very delicious warm. So much that I had to cut them into squares once cool and wrap them up for the freezer before I ate the whole tin.

I used chunky peanut butter only because the smooth was not available in my normal brand. The crunch added something to the brownie but smooth would be just as nice.
How to make keto brownies
Although I used coconut flour for this, you could make this recipe with almond flour too. Perhaps with less egg and coconut milk though as coconut flour does love liquid!
I cut the total bake into 9 squares but you could cut smaller portions if you wanted (but why! I cry). They freeze very well and are a handy snack to have in the freezer.
