Ingredients
Scale
- Brownie Batter:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Pumpkin Swirl:
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, then stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, egg yolk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread 2/3 of the brownie batter in the pan. Layer the pumpkin mixture on top, then drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter. Swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Do not overmix the brownie batter to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Let brownies chill before cutting for cleaner slices.
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for proper consistency.
- To freeze, wrap tightly and store up to 2 months.
