Description
Moist pumpkin cake batter and rich chocolate-studded brownie batter come together in these dense and delicious Pumpkin Swirl Brownies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until well combined.
- Remove half of the batter to a separate mixing bowl. Stir the 1/4 cup cocoa powder into one bowl of the batter until well combined and then stir the chocolate chips into the same batter to make the chocolate batter.
- Alternate dolloping the pumpkin and chocolate batters into to the prepared baking dish so it looks like the batters are in a checkered pattern. Use a knife or the end of a wooden spoon to gently swirl the batters together so there are noticeable swirls of pumpkin batter throughout the chocolate batter.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool then cut into squares.
