Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice, if using.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Pour the pumpkin brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, cut the pumpkin brownies into squares for serving.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. Canned pumpkin is also acceptable.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg or allspice for a unique pumpkin flavor.
  • Check for doneness a few minutes before the baking time is up, as brownies continue to cook after removal from the oven.
  • Serve these pumpkin brownies warm, especially when paired with ice cream.
