MAE-k and Bake... Peanut Butter Pumpkin Brownies

Every Fall I seem to consume more pumpkin than the year before. I am not complaining, but thus far I have used 5 cans of pumpkin puree and it is not even half way through October.
This new recipe is hands down the best pumpkin recipe I have whipped up! I tend to eyeball ingredients a lot when I am baking healthy because the chemistry just is not the same when you are using ingredients like protein powder, coconut flour and stevia...

If anyone tries this recipe post it to instagram and tag @haleymcairo and #maemovement #Maek&bake.... you could win some Mae Movement Bracelets ;)
