Pumpkin Brownies

Ingredients

16 brownies

  • ▢½ cup melted butter
  • ▢1 cup chocolate chips
  • ▢2 eggs
  • ▢1 cup granulated sugar
  • ▢1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ▢1 cup flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
  • ▢2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ▢⅔ cup pumpkin purée
  • ▢2 tbsp avocado oil, or vegetable oil
  • ▢½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine melted butter and chocolate chips. Stir until completely smooth and melted. If needed, quickly microwave. Then, set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add eggs and sugar. Whisk vigorously for 3 minutes, until frothy and light.
  • Then, add in vanilla and flour. Stir to combine.
  • Divide this batter equally into 2 bowls.
  • Pour melted chocolate mixture and cocoa powder into one of the bowls. Stir to combine.
  • In the other bowl, add pumpkin purée, avocado oil and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the lined pan. Then drop dollops of the pumpkin mixture on top.
  • Use a knife to swirl together. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  • Bake for 27 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
  • Finally, remove from oven. Allow brownies to cool for 1 hour before slicing into.

Notes

  • Use high quality chocolate chips.  This is a big flavor.  Sugar free chocolate can be used, but the brownies will not be as shiny on top.
  • Stir melted butter and chocolate chips until fully melted.  If needed, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Both all purpose and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well.  Do not use another flour.
  • Feel free to swirl the pumpkin as much or as little as desired.
  • Bake until toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  • These brownies are gooey and fudge like.  Allow them to cool before slicing into.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
