Fat Bomb (Keto) Chocolate Mint Brownies

I know the holiday’s have had me posting all sorts of recipes for my Vegan GF baking fans. And now that January is upon us, the fat loss coach in me will take over! It’s time to buckle down and it’s time for some low carb goodies!

I love chocolate mint things – everything chocolate mint actually. and I’ve been itching to create this brownie! I saw a pic of it from another bakery a long time ago and it’s been haunting me ever since. If I could make good business sense of it- it’d just create new recipes for the bakery weekly and sell them as I did! But alas, it does not make good sense to always be changing up the bakery’s offering, so this is where my inner blogger gets to shine!

I turned these into a Keto version since I practice eating 2 keto-style days a week with carb cycling. I don’t really eat a lot of sugar or sweets any more anyway and I really want to eat these!  Happily they are totally no-guilt and when you are trying to get in your 100+ grams of fat a day – these guys will be perfect!

Enjoy!

Keto Vegan Creme de Mint Brownies

perfect for low carb days. These are fudgey and minty and cool! Note about Miyoko's butter... I love it and use it where ever I can. It does not disappoint! But, be warned, it does have cashew cream in it (for those with nut allergies ;( and may be just plain hard to find for some. Earth Balance Vegan Butter is a great substitute. I'll be posting my own recipe for a butter blend we use at the bakery too! stay tuned!
