Sugar-free brownies
Description
If the pumpkin is not sweet enough for you, add a small amount of natural sugar substitute. To improve the flavour, you can add nuts, dark chocolate, or citrus zest to the dough. Coconut oil can be replaced with any vegetable oil. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
