How to make Pumpkin Brownies
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F, 177C, or gas mark 4. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and set aside.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt until completely combined.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and bourbon. Mix in eggs one at a time.
Combining Mixtures
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Divide the batter into two bowls.
Flavoring Batters
In one bowl, stir in cocoa powder and chocolate chips. In the other bowl, mix in pumpkin puree, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
Layering and Baking
Place alternating dollops of each batter in the pan, rotating the pan 90 degrees for each layer. Swirl the top if desired.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
You can substitute bourbon with maple syrup or vanilla for a different flavor.
FAQS
How can I make pumpkin brownies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free pumpkin brownies, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, including baking powder and chocolate chips, are also gluten-free.
What is the best way to store leftover pumpkin brownies?
Store leftover pumpkin brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.
Can I substitute pumpkin puree with another ingredient in pumpkin brownies?
Yes, you can substitute pumpkin puree with applesauce or mashed bananas for a different flavor and texture. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the taste and moisture level of the brownies.
What can I pair with pumpkin brownies for a delicious dessert experience?
Pumpkin brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also serve them with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture.
How do I know when my pumpkin brownies are done baking?
To check if your pumpkin brownies are done, insert a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make them dry.
