- 4 oz (115 g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup (85 g) all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (28 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt
Pumpkin Swirl
- 1/2 cup (120 g) pumpkin puree, make sure this is pure pumpkin, not pie filling
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (16 g) all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp (0.3 g) ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Set it aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl for 3 minutes until the mixture appears pale and thickened.
- Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture and vanilla extract into the eggs.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the chocolate mixture and fold until combined.
- Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture over the chocolate batter.
- Drag a knife through the batters in a zigzag pattern to create a marble effect.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges set and the centre shows moist crumbs on a toothpick.
- Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife and wipe the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to get clean lines on the brownies.
- Keep these in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you prefer a denser texture, store them in the refrigerator.
