Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (40g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (112g)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (120g) Libby’s brand is my favorite.
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (80g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips divided
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8x8-inch dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Mix together the cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the peanut butter, pumpkin, syrup, vanilla and eggs. Whisk to combine.
- Then fold in half of the chocolate chips and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes. Be careful not to overbake. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out slightly crumbly (it will continue to bake in the hot pan after you remove it from the oven!)
- To make the chocolate drizzle, melt the remaining chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-seconds intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Then drizzle over the brownies.
- You can enjoy these brownies warm and gooey or chilled (both are amazing!) The melted chocolate will harden faster if you place it in the fridge.
Notes
To make dairy-free: use dairy-free chocolate chips.
To make vegan: use a flax egg in place of egg and dairy-free chocolate chips.
