Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup natural sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your batter is mixed.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, cocoa powder, eggs, and sweetener. Stir thoroughly until you have a smooth, homogenous batter with no lumps.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the brownies are just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares to serve.
Notes
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor without added sugar.
- Adjust the sweetener quantity depending on your sweetness preference or the type of sweetener used.
- Do not overbake to retain a moist, fudgy texture.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavors.
