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, to taste (optional)
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 to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Mix-ins: Add cocoa powder and salt to the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a smooth batter. If using chocolate chips or any mix-ins, fold them in now.
- Prepare Pan: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean but slightly moist.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use a ripe, pure pumpkin puree preferably without added sugars or spices for best results.
- Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- For a nuttier flavor, try different nut butters like cashew or peanut butter.
- Optional mix-ins such as walnuts or pecans can add texture and flavor.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
