Keto Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars
These Keto Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars were a hit at Thanksgiving! Most of my family is eating Keto, but even those who don’t follow a ketogenic way of eating thought these were great. I think the trick was the sweetener. Erythritol based sweeteners like Swerve have a cooling effect that my kids can often detect in baked goods. For this recipe I decided to try Monkfruit instead and it went totally undetected! I’m calling that a win!
