the Ultimate Fall Brownie

I am going crazy for these pumpkin brownies this year!

Pumpkin + chocolate + fall spices = my heaven on earth.

I guarantee your house will be filled with the most amazing scents when you are baking up a batch of today’s recipe. They’re the best fall version of our classic Homemade Brownies.

They are delicious and fudg-y and the addition of pumpkin puree makes them extra moist. Everyone goes nuts for this recipe, so if you’re a brownie fan, these are a MUST this fall!!

Making The Batter

Get ready to make the most delicious fall brownies your mouth has ever tasted. This pumpkin brownie recipe is simple and the epitome of fall goodness!

PREP. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.

DRY INGREDIENTS. In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

WET INGREDIENTS. In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Using a spoon, mix in eggs one at a time. Gradually stir in your flour mixture.

DIVIDE. Divide the batter evenly among two separate bowls. Stir cocoa powder and chocolate chips into one batter. In the second bowl of batter, stir in the pumpkin puree, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

Tip: It doesn’t have to be perfectly divided—you can eyeball it. Or, if you’re a perfectionist, use a kitchen scale to weigh the total amount of batter and divide it in half.

Pumpkin and chocolate batter swirled in a glass pan.

The Swirl

For perfect pumpkin swirl brownies follow these remaining steps.

LAYER. Spread ½ of the chocolate batter into the bottom of a greased 8×8 baking pan. Spread ½ of the pumpkin batter on top of that.

SWIRL. Add dollops of each of the remaining batters into the baking pan (this will make it easier to swirl). Then, drag a kitchen knife gently through the dollops of chocolate and pumpkin batter to create a swirled top.

BAKE. Bake for 45-48 minutes. Enjoy!

Each oven is different but to ensure your brownies are cooked, make sure the center doesn’t look wet or jiggle too much with a little shake.

Variations

  • Nuts. We love walnuts with these pumpkin spice brownies, but you can definitely leave them out.
  • Chocolate chips. Milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even caramel chips can be subbed for semi-sweet chips.
  • Frosting. Top with a delicious cream cheese frosting.
  • Seasoning. Replace the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg with 1¾ teaspoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice
Pumpkin Spice Brownie on a plate with a bite missing.

Storing info

STORE. Cool pumpkin puree brownies and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, but they are best kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.

FREEZE. Place cut brownies into individual fold-top sandwich bags and store them together in a Freezer Ziploc. You can also layer them in a freezer container, using parchment or wax paper to separate layers. Freeze for up to 6 months.

    These probably would’ve been more amazing if I followed the recipe to a T! Don’t make the same mistake of mixing the eggs in with a fork. I was skeptical of the spoon, but I think I whisked too much air into the batter. Ended up with a cake-y brownie, which I’m not the biggest fan of.

    Also I found dolloping just the chocolate batter on top made for an easier swirl effect.

  2. Whitney says:

    My 13 year old requested “pumpkin brownies” for his birthday dessert earlier this week. A quick google search led me to your site. These were simple and are very delicious! I only used one stick of butter and they still turned out perfectly moist. I only have a 9×9 pan so I baked them for about 35 minutes instead of the time listed above. Thank you for a lovely recipe!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You’re welcome!! I’m so glad you found the recipe + that they were a hit!

  3. Patricia Roediger says:

    Did not care for these. Taste of cloves way too strong for my taste!

  4. meekelly says:

    Can you do this with a brownie mix?

  7. Nana says:

    Wow! I was looking for a pumpkin worthy recipe for my daughter-in-law’s small coffee shop. We shared samples to a few locals. These are a hit before we ever put in on the menu. Moist, well balanced flavor and beautiful! Thank you!!

  8. Carol Jenkins says:

    5 stars
    This is a fabulous recipe! Thank you for sharing.

  9. R says:

    This recipe is pretty good but it’s important to note that these are not pumpkin brownies. It’s brownie batter and pumpkin bread batter. As a result of the extra moisture in the pumpkin part of this recipe, it’s impossible to get a fudgy brownie since you have to cook it for long enough that the pumpkin bread is no longer wet. So you will get a more dry brownie. The pumpkin part is very cakey. With that being said it’s an easy recipe to make if you want a nice looking holiday recipe. The swirling part looks really nice even after baking. Very fall

      I paper towel dried the pumpkin before adding it to the batter. (I do this for a cookie recipe) Yes, it took a lot of paper towels but it was worth it. I read your comment and decided to try this method to get a fudgy moist brownie all around. Thank you!

  10. Eduardo says:

    Hi Kristin!
    This made my mouth water!!
    Just to be sure, I’m not familiar with this pumpkin puree (not American). Is that mashed pumpkin pulp just like mashed potatoes? Can I just look up a recipe for that anywhere and it’s good to go?
    Thank you!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Hi! Oh I’m so glad to hear the recipe sounds yummy. Yes, so pumpkin puree is the same as canned pumpkin. It is basically just the cooked pumpkin in pureed form. No spices added or anything. You could look up a recipe for it and it would work in place of canned pumpkin.

    I made these for our school’s Super Bowl “Tailgate” and they were a HUGE hit. Super moist and delicious. Very easy to make and the ingredients were things I keep on hand. Thank you for sharing your time and talents!

  13. Tina says:

    Hai do you have the measurements in metrics? Thanks

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      No unfortunately not. There are lots of free measurement convertors online that could help convert it to metric for you! 🙂

    Just made these brownies and they are delicious, wouldn’t change a thing!

  15. Martha Butler says:

    Delish.

  16. Sheena says:

    Hi, for the Pumpkin Brownies, I’m doing a triple recipe with it, would a 13×9 baking dish be big enough or do I need to go bigger? Thank you!

  17. Sheena says:

    Hi, I’m going to be making these pumpkin brownies, but I’m going to triple the recipe. What size pan would I use with the recipe being tripled? Thank you.

  18. Jade says:

    Hi, I’m plan on making these but would like to make them gluten free – would it just be a straight forward case of substituting the flour for gluten free flour or would I need to change the amount and/or add a binding agent? Many thanks

    1. Julia says:

      Hi did you end up trying them gluten free? How did it go? I have celiac and want to make these!

  19. Linda says:

    Good day I was just wondering if I double this recipe what size baking pan will I have to use?

    1. Lisa says:

      I was wondering the same thing. 9” x 13” ???

  20. Karen says:

    How far in advance can I make this before serving? 1 day? 2 days?
    If I make it the day before, should I put it in the refrigerator or keep it on the counter until ready to cut & serve?
    Thanks! Can’t wait to try it….looks delicious!

    When I saw this recipe I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I love brownies and this is the season for pumpkin so naturally these turned out super. They really hit the spot and I am so glad I made them. They d not disappoint and will be making them again.

    Thank you for another pumpkin recipe.

    Pumpkin and chocolate together how can you go wrong. I made these this past weekend, but without nuts and they were so so good. My kids loved them. Thanks for another great recipe.

  25. Ron says:

    I’m adding my five rating to the thousands preceding me. I am something of a newbie when it comes to baking; but these brownies were easy to prepare and enjoyed by grandkids and parents alike.😋

    Is there any recipes that are diabetic friendly? Low carb, no sugar.

  27. Melinda says:

    5 stars
    I used 1.5 cups of fresh pumpkin puree, 2 eggs + 1 chia egg and 3/4 tsp mixed spice, instead of the separate spices. I was actually surprised at how these came out. Baked a little longer than suggested. These were delicious! Have only just started to bake brownies, but I think I might be a pumpkin brownie convert!!

  28. Joey says:

    4 stars
    I made these tonight, and they taste awesome, but they’re more like a very moist marble cake. I’ve never made brownies with baking powder in the recipe like this, and I’m wondering if that’s what made it rise to a more of a cake consistency than chewy brownies. I look forward to experimenting a bit next time. I have pumpkin leftover so I might as well!

  29. Ann says:

    Amazing!

  30. Susan Bradshaw says:

    4 stars
    I made the pumpkin brownies for a get-to-gther! They were really enjoyed. I used an 9×9 pan and it worked out well! However, I didn’t the full swirl effect like your picture! I think I might have cooked a little too long! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You’re welcome! Thanks for giving them a try!

  31. Jennifer McAtee says:

    I was so excited to try this recipe. Unfortunately, the pumpkin batter is not the same consistency as the chocolate part. Which makes sense because pumpkin puree adds moisture to the one batter and the cocoa is adding a dry ingredient, making it thicker. If you want to be able to spread half the chocolate batter in an 8×8 baking dish, you’ll want to double this recipe. This recipe, unfortunately did not turn out as intended by following the recipe exactly. Using the recipe less than doubled will not allow the batter to properly spread in a pan because there’s not enough of it. I’m just disappointed now and baking it as it is but it’s just a mess.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!

  32. Barbara Britton says:

    5 stars
    Made exactly as described it doubled the recipe. They’re delicious but a little more Casey than brownie. Not a bad thing!!! Give them a try – they won’t last long!

    I made this and it was the best! Everyone loved them. Can they be frozen? If so, would I bake them and let them come to room temp and pop them in the freezer?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Yes! They freeze wonderfully. And yep, that’s exactly it. Then just pull them out of the freezer bag and let them thaw at room temp for a bit before serving. We have freeing instructions in the post too!

  35. NANCY says:

    5 stars
    I made these for the first time. Since I’m a diabetic I couldn’t even taste them. Since I was trying them for a bake sale where I work, I asked my hubby what he thought. He said they were very good and he felt would be sold quickly. So then I took two to a coworker to try. She said they were “delicious”. So thank you so much for sharing. I will be making more soon!

  36. Bob9 says:

    Not sure what I did wrong but the pumpkin portion of the filling didn’t really set-so I have fluffy fudgy brownies and bites of loose pumpkin-is that normal?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Hmmmm…. I’m not sure why it did that either, if you followed the recipe. The pumpkin portion should be chewy and soft, similar to the texture of the brownie portion.

  37. Nicki says:

    Can I triple it for a sheet pan size?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Yes, that should work!!

  38. Cindy Smith says:

    I doubled the recipe for a 9×13 and it came out fantastic! This is absolutely delicious and a great recipe for the fall! My husband says it’s a keeper and I will definitely be making this again!

  39. Melissa says:

    5 stars
    Can I substitute the flour for gluten free flour and same amount?
    I made these with AP flour and they were amazing!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Yes, I think you can! I haven’t actually tried it myself, so you’ll have to let us know how it turns out.

      1. Jen says:

      Aren’t they so good?! We love them! Thank you!

  47. Erin says:

    Hi i loved these so much. Do you happen to have a brownie recipe without the pumpkin but just as fudgy and yummy these were? Thank you.

  48. Bea Adler says:

    Can I double the recipe for a 9×13 pan? If yes, how long should it bake?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Yes, you could! I’d say start with the same baking time and then check on it… it will more than likely need a bit more time. Each oven is different, but you’ll know they are cooked when the center doesn’t look wet or jiggle too much with a little shake.

  49. Morgan says:

    Can you suggest an egg substitute for your pumpkin brownies?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Perhaps applesauce or yogurt? I haven’t ever subbed out the egg in this recipe, so if you do, you’ll have to let us know how it turns out! You could probably google some egg substitutes for brownies as well for more ideas.

  54. Jane says:

    I made these to take to work and everyone loved them. These are my new favorite. Do you think it would change the consistency much if I cut back maybe a half cup of sugar?

  55. Danielle says:

    I was just wondering if I could double this recipe and use a 13×9 cake pan? I want to make these as a treat for coworkers and make sure I have enough for everyone.

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. My husband commented that they were the best brownies that he has ever had. He liked them so much that he even took a couple to a friend at work who also raved about them. I baked them for only 40 minutes as they looked and smelled like they were ready to come out, and I found the consistency to be moist and fudgy and not cakey. I will definitely be making these again.

  59. menkens says:

    This is not a review but a what if situation which is were I was coming from … used as a basic recipe and doubled for the most part because of number I was serving; so with that said
    * yes, a sugar substitute works great and after review used 1-1/2 cup Stevia substitute; 3 overflowing teaspoons of Pumpkin Pie spice … added the entire can of pumpkin because I don’t like leftover “stuff” …
    * mixed all together because I did not have time to “swirl” anything … used an entire package of chips and omitted the nuts entirely
    Turned out well and well received by ladies @ Church group! I will be making again!

    Agree with other comments that it is more cake like than brownie texture. The flavors are all there and it is really good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    Can I make this in a 9×13 pan? Do I need to double the recipe?

  64. Pam says:

    How could I make these gluten free? Do you think I could substitute almond flour for the flour?

    1. Emily says:

      4 stars
      Pam, re: GF substituting….No, almond flour alone will not work. Use one of the 1:1 GF baking flours. Best brands are Pamelas & King Arthur – both are fabulous for subbing evenly. Enjoy!

    Oh my goodness❣️ I saw these on FB and immediately copied to my page. Made them this afternoon and a batch for my Pastor who had commented on them. Delicious❣️

  66. Lumi says:

    Lovely recipe but the baking powder I use recommends 1 teaspoon baking powder for half a cup of flower, and if I follow the recipe exactly, the brownie doesn’t rise enough and becomes dry.

  67. Sharon says:

    I’m going to make these for a party. Can I double the recipe and put in a 9 x13 pan? I’ll let you know how fast they get devoured lol

  69. Jared says:

    I’ve tried this twice, and in both instances it turned out as more of a cake texture than a brownie. I’ve trying layering according to the recipe, and a separate time by interweaving the batters as I put them into the 8×8 pan (which seems too small for the ingredient ratio)- it rises quite a bit. I may try a larger pan next time for a thinner brownie consistency. It does smell and tastes delicious regardless, so no complaints there. The pumpkin spice and chocolate flavors go really well together… but it’s definitely more of a “cake” brownie than the chewy/fudge brownie as shown in the photo.

    1. Deb M says:

      Try leaving out the baking powder.

    2. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Thanks for the feedback! You could definitely try it in a larger pan. Glad to hear you enjoyed the flavors of the brownies!

    3. Jani says:

      5 stars
      In place of just butter, I made this recipe using 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup cream cheese (both melted), and a little extra pumpkin. The brownies came out chewy/fudgy just as you would expect in a brownie.
      I also used a 9 x 11 glass greased pan and took it out of the oven in 40 minutes.
      Came out perfectly!
      Give it another try!!

    Sucks you can’t print out the recipe

    1. bonnie says:

      you could take a screen shot, save to your computer then print? You can copy and paste in an email to yourself, then print? I am sure there are way around your problem

    2. Lil'Luna Team says:

      There is an option to print. If you scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post (or you can click “Jump to Recipe” and it will take you there), there is a button that says “print”. It will then take you to a printable version of the recipe.

  71. Danielle says:

    These look delicious!! Would love to take them to work as a treat for my co-workers. Would I be able to double the ingredients and use a 13×9 inch cake pan?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Absolutely!!

  72. Janell says:

    Do you have to use the full amount of sugar? Seems like a lot. But I don’t want to lessen it if it’ll negatively impact the cooking / taste.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      I haven’t tried altering the amount of sugar so I’m not sure how they would taste/turn out. You can certainly give it a try, but I’m not sure if they will turn out. I know they turn out well with the recipe as written. 🙂

    Delicious recipe!!!!!! I’ve never made pumpkin brownies before and this seemed like the easiest beginner recipe to try and they came out amazing. Even my sister whose not a pumpkin fan liked them! Not too sweet either!!! Might even get my parents to try them!! (PS have your dish water ready. Lots of dishes between all the bowls but it’s honestly so worth it)

      Fudgy brownies typically have a higher fat to flour ratio than cakey ones. You could try playing around with the amount of butter/chocolate and flour if you want it more fudgy.

      1. Tina says:

        Can you use box brownie mix instead of making the chocolate brownie? layer

      2. Lil'Luna Team says:

        I haven’t tried it before… The ingredients for this recipe end up using half of the batter for the chocolate portion and half for the pumpkin. So you’d have to alter the recipe to just make the pumpkin half. I’m not sure the ratio of a box mix with this recipe either. So, you certainly could try, but would need to do a little experimenting.

    I gave this recipe 4 stars because it was more like a moist cake than a brownie. Flavors were great, but the texture was not what I hoped for.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Thanks so much for your feedback and for giving the recipe a try!

    I made a disaster area out of my kitchen making these. (I am the MESSIEST baker). It was absolutely, 100% worth it! I made them twice, once with and once without walnuts, due to allergies. Both tasted wonderful!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Yay!! So glad to hear you loved the recipe… messy kitchen and all. Sometimes it is SO worth the mess. 😉 Thanks for sharing!

    This is the brownie recipe that I have been looking for my entire life! Fudgy brownie layer and light pumpkin layer. :).

    Quick question: Does “3/4 cup butter melted” mean 12 Tbs stick butter melted or 3/4 cup melted butter by volume? I did the former and it came out fine but I just wanted to double check with you lol. Thank you soooo much for this amazing recipe!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Yay! You’re welcome! Yes, 3/4 cup butter is the 12 Tbsp then melted. I’m so glad you found the recipe!

      1. Grace says:

        I’m wanting to make these to take to thanksgiving dinner, would everything still work together if I don’t use nuts in the recipe?

      2. Lil'Luna Team says:

        Hi Grace! Hopefully the brownies turned out for your Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, the recipe still works without adding the nuts!

    These are GOOOOOOOOD.
    I made them with glutenfree flour and dairy-free butter bc of intolerances, and they still came out REALLY well! They’re so fudgy! I love them!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I am so happy to hear that you liked them! Thank you so much for letting me know!

      1. Julia says:

        Really creative recipe idea, but the quantity of cloves ruined this recipe for me. Genuinely feel like I just ate a Christmas wreath

    I have made these a couple of times and love them! I’m wondering if they would store well in the freezer? I want to make a few batches at once and freeze them to give to family for the holidays.

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I personally have not tried freezing them, but I am sure they would be ok 🙂

      This recipe is divine! What an incredible mix of fudgy brownie plus wonderful pumpkin spice. We literally could not stop eating it!! Great treat to give as a gift at the holidays.

  90. Jess says:

    I accidentally bought pumpkin pie mix…will that work?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Instead of what? I haven’t tried, so not quite sure how that might change the recipe.

  91. Jessica says:

    This looks delicious! What would you recommend for using this recipe in a mini muffin pan for someone who wants mini individual brownies?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I personally haven’t tried, but I am sure that would work. Not sure what the baking time would be.

    This recipe was very good although it has way too much sugar in it. I ended up putting a 1/4 of the amount of sugar. But overall, a great treat for the fall!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Glad you tried it! You can totally add what amount you’d like. Happy you liked the taste! Thank you!

  93. Kelley says:

    Can you use pumpkin pie filling instead of puree? They look amazing!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I personally haven’t, tried, but I am sure it would be great 🙂 Enjoy!!

    Made these brownies today to celebrate the first dAy of fall and they didN’t disaPpoint . Very Easy to make, very moist with the PERFECT balance of pumpkin flavour anD rich chocolate flavour. will be making these again ! ThaNks fir sharing thIs great recipe !!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      You are so welcome! I am so glad you tried these! Yay for all things fall!

      1. Karen says:

        Can I substitute pumpkin pie spice for the spices?

      2. Lil'Luna Team says:

        You sure could. I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure how it would alter the flavor, but you could certainly give it a try. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out.

    Very good, love the creatIvity of the recipe . Will make again , thank you

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      You are so welcome! Thank you for saying that!

  99. Rebecca Cole says:

    Is the butter supposed to be melted at room temperature or melted to liquid?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      It does not need to be at room temp, but yes, melted to liquid 🙂 Enjoy!

  100. Patricia Schmidt says:

    Can you put this in a 13×9 pan?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      You sure could 🙂

    2. Lindsay Mccurry says:

      Will you need to change the cooking time for 9 X 13? What if you doubled them and then cooked in a 9 x 13? Thank you! Having a fall party this week and i have a feeling these will be a hit’!

      1. Kristyn Merkley says:

        You will definitely want to add it in a 9×13 if you double it. Not sure about the baking time. Maybe start checking around the 20 min mark & then you can add time & keep an eye on it.

      I used that size because i like my brownies more chewy and rispy, turned out great!

      1. Michelle says:

        How did you adjust your baking time with a 9×13 pan. Also did you double the recipe?

  101. Amanda says:

    438 for 1 brownie or the entire batch?

    1. beau Moo says:

      Prob the entire batch

    2. Diana says:

      Did we find out the cAlorie question?

    3. Nick says:

      4 stars
      It’s definitely the calories for only one brownie – just the 1 1/2 cups sugar is almost 400 calories so it’s impossible that this is the total cals for the entire batch! These look amazing but there’s soo much sugar. I wonder if you can use 1/2 cup instead ? Or replace with a low cal sweeter.

    I’m always looking for new ways to use my yearly pumpkin surplus, and your recipe definitely hits the spot. I layered the batter instead of swirling, and it ended up having more of a cake texture than a true brownie. Will be making this delicious treat again. Thank you!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Thank you for trying them! Yes, layering is a great option!

  104. Gigi says:

    For the person who did not want to use Nuts, owing to allergies, my son is also allergic, so I use Pignoli people think the Italian Pignoli are nuts, but they are NOT nuts — they are a bud that tastes like nuts. I use that in place of nuts in recipes for my son. Hope this helps. Gigi
