Nothing beats the soft chocolatey taste and texture of brownies. For more delicious brownie variations, also try our dark chocolate rhubarb brownies and peanut butter brownies. You won’t find any boxed brownie mix in this recipe because we make them from scratch. Don’t fret though, it’s a surprisingly easy recipe with ingredients you’re likely to find in your kitchen. We start by making one batch of brownie batter, then divide it into two bowls. In one bowl, we add the pumpkin puree. In the other bowl, we mix in the melted dark chocolate chips. We layer the batters and then swirl them to give them a marbled effect, which is much easier than you might think. This pumpkin brownie recipe is fudgy, moist, and full of flavor – just like it should be! Here’s everything you need to make this pumpkin brownies recipe from scratch.
Dark chocolate chips – dark chocolate chips give the batter a rich brown color and deep chocolate taste. You can also use a dark chocolate bar or chopped baking chocolate. Butter – some for melting with the chocolate chips, and some for adding into the batter for that rich, moist, brownie texture we love. Flour – we use regular all-purpose flour, but you can use a gluten-free alternative if needed (just make sure it has xanthan gum already added). Baking powder – to help the brownies rise. Sea salt – a fine grain sea salt Eggs – it’s not essential that your eggs are room temperature, but they mix easier into the batter and help the brownies rise better. Granulated sugar – we use granulated sugar, but you can also use light brown or brown sugar in a pinch. Tea – tea is the not-so-secret ingredient in these brownies. We use this pumpkin tea, but you can use any autumn spiced tea or regular black tea in its place. Vanilla – vanilla extract enhances the flavors of the other ingredients. Canned pumpkin – make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling that has sugar and spices added. While we can’t exactly call these brownies healthy, the pumpkin does add some fiber and nutrients. Pumpkin pie spice – we use our easy-to-make homemade pumpkin pie spice, but you can use a store-bought blend or a mix of a few warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
You can make these pumpkin brownies any time of year, but nothing says fall quite like pumpkin. They’re loved by both kids and adults, and they’re the perfect seasonal treat for Halloween, fall dinner parties, or as a Thanksgiving dessert.
