Keto Hemp Seed Vegan Brownies

My husband is on a strict keto non-dairy diet; he needs to be filled up and is limiting his carbs. But.. I really wanted to make him a treat on our 19th wedding anniversary, so I tried to make this soft cookie / brownie. Just in case I made a simple non-dairy ganache to go with it to add sweetness but he didn't need to use it! Full disclosure: I have not tried this treat yet!

The cookie is amazing - Sean
