The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—simple, fresh, and quality-focused. I always reach for organic pumpkin puree when possible; it adds a natural sweetness and velvety texture that really shines. Using real butter and high-quality cocoa powder makes a noticeable difference in flavor depth. Over the years, I’ve learned that even the smallest ingredient swaps can change the final result, so I like to keep things straightforward but flexible enough for busy families.

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

If you want to make these gluten-free, I’ve had success swapping the flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For a dairy-free version, coconut oil works beautifully in place of butter, adding a subtle coconut note that pairs nicely with the pumpkin.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and slightly glossy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and luscious.
  6. If using, gently fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and makes cutting cleaner.

One tip I learned from watching my mom is not to rush the cooling process. Patience here means brownies that hold their shape beautifully and slice like a dream.
