Ingredients
Scale
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Add Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in chocolate chips and nuts to enhance the flavor and texture.
Pour into Pan: Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and prepare them for serving.
Notes
Ensure not to overmix the batter for the best texture.
