Common Questions About Making Keto Pumpkin Swirl Instant Pot Brownies

The pumpkin puree adds moisture and flavor to the brownies, but you can omit it if you prefer. Just be aware that the texture and taste may be slightly different.
How can I store these brownies?
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
Can I use regular sugar instead of erythritol?
