Why You'll Love This Recipe
I made this on a whim one day, and the best part is...it's completely no bake. You just mix everything together, shape it into a log, chill, and slice. It looks fancy on a plate but takes almost no effort, which is my favorite kind of recipe, kind of like my easy protein pumpkin truffles.
Pumpkin puree gives the dough that smooth texture and subtle sweetness, while the cocoa and protein powder make it rich and brownie-like. The crushed walnuts on the outside is the perfect finishing touch to add a little crunch to every bite.
Because it's keto-friendly, low carb, and high protein, this pumpkin brownie log works as both a snack and a dessert. Keep it in the fridge for easy grab-and-go pieces, or serve it at a holiday gathering for something that's festive, chocolatey, and a little unexpected.
Ingredients

Find the complete ingredient amounts and step-by-step instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post (or use the 'jump to recipe' button at the top of this post).
- pumpkin puree
- liquid sugar-free sweetener (allulose honey, or sweetener of choice)
- cocoa powder
- chocolate protein powder
- crushed walnuts
Instructions
Step 1 - Mix it up. In a bowl, stir together pumpkin puree, sweetener, cocoa powder, and protein powder. Keep going until it looks like thick, fudgy dough.
Step 2 - Chill time. Pop the bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes (or up to an hour) so it firms up and is easier to handle.
Step 3 - Shape it. Roll the dough into a log. If it feels sticky, just dust your hands (or the dough) with a little cocoa powder to help it along.
Step 4 - Coat it. Press the log into crushed walnuts so the outside gets a nice crunchy layer.
Step 5 - Slice + snack. Cut into pieces and enjoy! You can eat it chilled or bake at 350°F for 10 minutes if you want.
