Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (Fresh homemade pumpkin puree recipe)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I omitted since we can't have nuts at school)
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan (if you are doubling the batter recipe, I suggest using a 9x13 pan). Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- In another bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract; beat in the eggs one at a time with a spoon. Gradually add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it's evenly moistened. Divide the batter in half in two separate bowls.
- Into one bowl of batter, blend the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. In the second bowl of batter, stir in the pumpkin puree, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Spread 1/2 of the chocolate batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, and follow with 1/2 of the pumpkin batter. Repeat the layers, ending with a pumpkin layer, and drag a kitchen knife or small spatula gently through the layers in a swirling motion, to create a marbled appearance.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan, cut into squares, and serve.

Final Brownies, I will post a picture of the swirl/layer effect in the middle.
I'm not entirely sure where you'd like me to write this, so I'm going to write it here. A review on the overall recipe. I doubled everything to make a bigger batch, and instead of Semisweet morsels, I used Milk Chocolate (they're waaay nummier, and more SWEET than they are chocolatey). The baking and ingredient instructions were PERFECT by all means, I had no issues, and the consistency of the batter was perfect as well. Its the first time I've actually made something by purchasing separate ingredients, as opposed to buying from a box. I was proud. LOL! It turned out DELICIOUS, and was a perfect amount of chocolate and pumpkin. I just feel festive eating it! Its a wonderful, delicious, and EASY recipe and I'd recommend it to anyone who has a kitchen. ;)
