Kitchen experiments of the day -- vegan brownies and vegan ricotta (not pictured). My husband approved of both. :-D The brownies also have reduced fat & sugar. Not health food, but ya need a treat sometimes, right? ;-)

I believe to eat less and do keto to loose. But you’ll never see this day again so enjoy! I eat cake for birthdays. I try to loose and live. You are doing a great thing. 👏

I'm firmly plant based and doing well with my strategy, and not averse to working in a treat or two in moderation here and there, so this fits right in with what I'm doing. I was just happy my husband liked the vegan version. If you're doing keto and it works for you, more power to ya! I'd be miserable on a keto diet, and I see no point in turning this into misery 😜

Vegan brownies... does not sound that hard to make. Keto brownies on the other hand LOL. It looks good.

liv001 -- they weren't hard at all. I substituted oil and applesauce for the butter and vegan egg substitute for the eggs. Keto brownies...I went to a party once where a woman made a keto cheesecake, so I'm guessing it's possible? 🤔

Shrewdness -- I'm a big believer that if I'm gonna have a treat, I'm going to make it worth my while! I've had an unwritten rule in my house for a long time that there would be no store- bought sweets. If I'm going to have cake, or cookies, or pie, it's going to be homemade 😋

ccandco -- I think I still need to monkey around with this recipe, hopefully bump up the chocolate flavor and make them a little less sweet. I learned a bit about working with the egg substitute that'll come in handy next time. Namely, it coagulates if you don't get it in the batter right away

buenitabishop -- I have no doubt you'd enjoy these! And no doubt you'd take a modest serving. I always admire your portion control 😊
