Paleo and Keto Approved Buckeye Protein Brownies
Have you ever heard of a Buckeye Brownie? Traditionally, its a decadent chocolate brownie, topped with peanut butter and chocolate. It reminds us a little bit of a gourmet version of a Resee's peanut butter cup. For our most recent recipe, we made a completely paleo and keto approved version of this underappreciated delicacy! Hope you enjoy.

My order is on its way, can’t wait to try this! Wondering if an alternative sweetner like allulose or Erythritol can be subbed for coconut sugar?
Could peanut butter sub for the almond butter?
Do you know how many carbs per serving?
I will make this weekend instead of honey I will use Monk fruit.
Looks delicious but a couple of concerns: This is not a keto recipe…coconut sugar and honey are not allowed on a keto diet. And the ingredient list says honey, but the instructions say maple syrup.
