Description

Made with pumpkin, which is one of the world’s best natural fat substitutes.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ cups High Quality Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ¼ teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice Plus More For Garnish If Desired
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9″ round or 8×8″ square baking dish with baking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, oil, cocoa powder and sugar. Add eggs, spice and vanilla and whisk until just mixed. Add the flour a little at a time, and mix until combined (do not over-mix).

Spread batter evenly into the baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (almost clean will do as well for fudgier texture). Remove pan from oven and set on a rack. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice if desired prior to cutting into 8 or 9 equal-sized pieces and serving.

Very chocolatey! They turned out fluffier than my usual brownies, but definitely tasty. I used Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder and any pumpkin flavor was masked by the chocolate, which is not a bad thing. I’d classify this as a yummy lower-calorie alternative to traditional brownies. Thanks for sharing!
