Ingredients

¾ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter, melted
1 ½ cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
½ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup chopped walnuts
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
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, and 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.
Spread ½ of the chocolate batter into the bottom of a greased 8x8 baking pan. Spread ½ of the pumpkin batter on top of that.
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 for 45-48 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Do not over-swirl the batters or the beautiful chocolate and pumpkin pattern will blend together.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
Use room temperature eggs so the batter mixes together smoothly.
Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.

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.
