Pumpkin Brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups Farmer's Market organic pumpkin
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan or dish. Melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Whisk together flour, baking powder, cayenne, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
-
Put sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until fluffy and well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in flour mixture.
-
Pour half of batter (about two cups) into a separate bowl and stir chocolate mixture into it.
-
In other bowl, stir in the pumpkin, oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Transfer half of chocolate batter to prepared pan smoothing top with a rubber spatula.
-
Top with spoonfuls of chocolate and pumpkin. With a small spatula or a table knife, gently swirl the two batters to create a marbled effect. Be sure to get your knife all the way to the bottom of the pan. Bake until set, 40 to 45 minutes.
