Swirled Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies Recipe Is the Fall Dessert You’ve Been Waiting For Desserts Gluten-free Fruit Snacks

Hello, fall! I am obsessed with fall. Everyone who knows me knows this. However, I may be one of the only fall lovers who’s not obsessed with all things pumpkin. I’ll take a chai latte over a pumpkin spice latte any day, thank you very much! That said, I love chocolate and I have found the combination of chocolate and pumpkin to be surprisingly fantastic.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (you can use gluten-free flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla (try this homemade vanilla extract recipe)
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Here’s how to make it:

1. In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, stir the melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time. Gradually stir in the flour mixture. Divide the batter evenly among two separate bowls.
2. Stir cocoa powder and chocolate chips into one batter. In the second bowl of batter, stir in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and walnuts, if using.
3. Spread half of the chocolate batter into the bottom of a greased 8x8-inch baking pan. Spread half of the pumpkin batter on top.
4. Add dollops of each of the remaining batters into the pan. Then drag a butter knife gently through the dollops to create a swirled design.
5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean. Store the brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
