Ingredients

Chocolate Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted).
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
  • 1/4 tsp salt.
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Pumpkin Swirl

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened).
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree.
  • 1 egg yolk, 3 tbsp sugar.
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the Brownie Batter: Whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips. Reserve 1/4 cup of this batter and pour the rest into your pan.
  • Mix the Pumpkin Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, egg yolk, sugar, and pumpkin spice until creamy. Spread it evenly over the brownie base.¿
  • Swirl and Bake: Dollop the reserved 1/4 cup of brownie batter over the pumpkin layer. Take a butter knife and gently drag it through to create a marble effect. Bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with slight fudgy crumbs.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow them to cool completely before slicing for clean, photo-ready cuts.

These fudgy pumpkin brownies deliver the perfect balance of rich chocolate and warm autumn spices, making them an instant crowd-pleaser for any fall gathering. Bake a batch today to elevate your cozy dessert game!
