These Pumpkin Brownies are a moist, rich, and healthier twist on classic brownies, featuring pumpkin puree and almond butter for a nutrient-packed treat. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and enhanced with cocoa powder and optional chocolate chips, they offer a perfect balance of chocolatey flavor and autumnal spice.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (180 g) pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup (80 g) almond butter (creamy or preferred nut butter)
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (30 g) cocoa powder
  • ⅙ tsp salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • Chocolate chips (quantity as desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 7×7 inch (15 cm x 15 cm) brownie pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. If you want to include chocolate chips or other mix-ins, fold them into the batter now. Use a whisk or fork to blend until the batter is smooth and consistent.
  3. Transfer and Spread Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly all the way to the edges to ensure uniform thickness and proper baking.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  5. Cool and Slice: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature in the pan. Once cooled, lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper and slice into squares for serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder rather than natural cocoa powder.
  • You can substitute almond butter with any creamy nut or seed butter according to preference or allergies.
  • Maple syrup adds moisture and natural sweetness; honey can be used as an alternative but may slightly alter flavor.
  • Storing: Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These brownies are naturally gluten free but ensure all mix-ins and cocoa powder used are certified gluten free if required.
