Fall is in the air, which means it’s time to bring out the pumpkin! But this time, let’s do something a little different. Instead of pumpkin pie or the usual seasonal goodies, how about a batch of delicious Pumpkin Brownies?

These are rich, chocolatey, and have that perfect hint of warm spices that make you want to curl up in a cozy blanket. Even better? They’re super easy to make! So, grab your apron and let’s dive in!

How to Make Pumpkin Brownies

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

¾ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
½ cup unsalted butter
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups sugar
4 eggs
1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree (make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ cup chocolate chips for decorating

Step by Step Guide

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray, then set aside.

2. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. In a stand mixer bowl, combine the sugar and eggs, mixing until well incorporated.

4. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir just until everything is combined.

5. Divide the batter evenly into two bowls and set aside.

6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.

7. Add the pumpkin mixture to one bowl of batter and the cooled chocolate mixture to the other. Stir each until thoroughly mixed.

8. Alternately spoon the chocolate and pumpkin batters into the prepared baking dish. Once filled, use a knife to swirl the batters for a marbled effect. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.

9. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

10. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

And there you have it! These Pumpkin Brownies will keep well in the fridge for up to two days if stored in an airtight container—though they probably won’t last that long! You can enjoy them chilled or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.

These Pumpkin Brownies are the ultimate fall dessert. They’re the perfect balance of chocolatey goodness and warm pumpkin spice, making them a great treat for a cozy afternoon or even a fun dessert to share at your next fall gathering.
