Description
These Pumpkin Patch Brownies are the perfect fall treat – rich, fudgy, and infused with cozy pumpkin spice flavors. Perfect for crisp evenings and festive gatherings!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (or half unsweetened applesauce for a lighter version)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1/2 tsp cinnamon + pinch of nutmeg)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional but tasty!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently if using.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan before slicing. They’re even better the next day!
Notes
Make sure not to overbake – it keeps them fudgy and moist. Room temperature ingredients mix best for a smooth batter.
