Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- ¾ cup (180 g) pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup (80 g) almond butter (creamy or preferred nut butter)
- 4 tbsp (60 g) maple syrup (or honey)
- ¼ cup (30 g) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅙ tsp salt
- Chocolate chips (optional, quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 7×7 inch (15 cm x 15 cm) brownie pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. If you want to add chocolate chips or other mix-ins, add them now. Whisk or stir the mixture well until it forms a smooth, uniform batter.
- Prepare baking pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check the brownies by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature in the pan. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin puree is plain, not pumpkin pie filling which contains added spices and sugars.
- Almond butter can be substituted with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on desired sweetness.
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake and for more cakey brownies, bake closer to 30 minutes.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
