Pumpkin Brownies

These actually turned out quite well— despite the fact that I used the wrong pan, because I don’t own an 8x8. (As a result, the edges burned.)

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 - 1/2 cups sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

3 eggs

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350F, and grease an 8x8 pan.

Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

In another bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in eggs, one at a time with a spoon. Gradually add flour mixture, stir batter until evenly moistened.

Divide batter in half in two separate bowls. In one bowl, blend the cocoa and chocolate chips. In the other, stir in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

Layer each type of batter in the pan, and marble it with your spatula.

Bake in oven until the brownies start to pull away from the pan/toothpick comes out clean. 40 to 45 minutes.

I baked mine for only 30 minutes due to the pan flattening them out much more, and though the edges burned, they turned out perfectly in the middle. Also, I didn’t mix the chocolate chips in, I just sprinkled them over when the batter was in the pan, along with a dusting of cinnamon.

As a garnish, you can put caramel sauce over the finished squares.
