These Pumpkin Brownies are rich, fudgy, and swirled with warm pumpkin spice flavor. The perfect fall dessert, they combine chocolatey goodness with a festive pumpkin twist—great for cozy nights, potlucks, or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Reserve 1 cup of brownie batter.
  5. In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Stir into the reserved batter.
  6. Spread plain chocolate batter evenly in prepared pan. Dollop pumpkin mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
  7. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if using.
  8. Bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Add a cream cheese swirl for extra richness.
  • Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
  • Caramel drizzle makes these even more indulgent.
  • Slightly underbake for ultra-fudgy brownies.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree if well-drained.
