Are Brownies Keto-Friendly?

Traditionally brownies made with regular ingredients like sugar and wheat flour are not keto-friendly. In addition, homemade brownies are incredibly high in carbs (15g of net carbohydrates in a square) and may quickly knock you out of ketosis.

Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly?

Peanut butter is a keto-friendly product that can be used in many recipes. But you need to know that not all peanut butter brands are great for someone following a keto diet because they contain additives and extra sugars, which might increase the amount of net carbohydrates.
