Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅙ tsp salt
- Chocolate chips, to taste
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.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder. If you want to add any optional mix-ins like vanilla extract, salt, or chocolate chips, add them now. Whisk or stir well until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
- Transfer Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is no longer raw and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares. This helps them set and makes for easier slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
- For extra chocolate flavor, sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Make sure to cool brownies completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by using a vegan sweetener like maple syrup.
