Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour with xanthan gum
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk and Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 3/4 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing into 16 squares.

Notes

For the fudgiest texture, do not overbake the brownies.
Allowing the brownies to cool completely is crucial for them to set properly and for clean slices.
Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for the best structure.
