Try this delightfully different brownie recipe with pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cocoa, and chocolate chips. It is quite fast and easy to make.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 11 x 7 x 1-1/2-inch baking pan with nonstick foil or spray with cooling oil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt until combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, pumpkin, all of the eggs, and oil on medium speed until combined. Reduce mixer to low, add dry ingredients, and beat until well-mixed. Fold in chocolate chips by hand.

Pour evenly into prepared pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until it tests done in the center with a wooden pick. Cool cocoa pumpkin brownies to room temperature before cutting to serve.

If you like pumpkin you'll love these!, Member cupcakekitten

These were a cinch to make, I made them in less then 20 min prep time. I added like 2/3 cup of chocolate chips rather then 1/3 because I love chocolate and I thought it would help balance the pumpkin taste, it did. The chips made them kinda gooey so don't cut them until they are cooled. This is a great recipe! I highly recommend it. Sorry they were devoured before I could take a picture.
