Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Pumpkin Swirl:
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and flour until smooth.
- Assemble the Brownies: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of the pumpkin swirl mixture on top of the brownie batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the pumpkin mixture into the brownie batter.
- Bake and Serve: Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie batter for extra texture and flavor.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of the brownies before baking.
