Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

Additional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Then, add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition to incorporate fully.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually stir the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients to form a smooth batter. Once mixed, divide this batter evenly into two separate bowls.
  5. Prepare Chocolate Batter: To one bowl, stir in the cocoa powder and the semi sweet chocolate chips until evenly blended.
  6. Prepare Pumpkin Batter: In the other bowl, mix in the pumpkin puree, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  7. Layer the Browns: Spread half of the chocolate batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, then carefully spread half of the pumpkin batter evenly over the chocolate layer.
  8. Create Swirl Effect: Add dollops of the remaining chocolate and pumpkin batters on top in alternating spoonfuls. Using a kitchen knife, gently drag through the dollops to create a swirled marbled effect across the top.
  9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin chocolate swirled brownies!

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience or homemade pumpkin puree for a fresher taste.
  • Walnuts can be omitted or replaced with pecans if preferred.
  • Be careful not to overbake to maintain moistness; check doneness at 45 minutes.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use higher quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  • These brownies keep well stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
