Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

Hi guys! Kristyn from Lil’ Luna here!! I’m so excited to be here for Spooktacular September!! I wasn’t able to participate last year since I was having a baby the same week then, but am so thrilled to be here on Eighteen25.

In the past, I’ve shared cute crafts and decor in this series, but I’m changing it up this year by sharing a delicious recipe. And when I say delicious – I mean like mouth-watering-eat-the-whole-pan-by-yourself delicious!! I say that because this is what happened when I made these Pumpkin Swirl Brownies last month. We took the pictures and left the pan on the counter, and before I realized it, I had eaten most of the pan by myself. That tells you just how good they are!

These Pumpkin Brownies were so chewy and flavorful! With a pumpkin swirl through out, they are the epitome of fall goodness and must be tried, especially if you love both brownies and pumpkin treats!

Get ready to make the most delicious fall brownies your mouth has ever tasted. They’re simple and have the perfect flavor combo of chocolate and pumpkin!

To make these brownies, combine your dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla, plus the eggs. Combine the dry and wet ingredients and then divide the batter evenly in two bowls.

In one bowl, stir in the chocolate and cocoa powder. In the second bowl stir in the pumpkin puree, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

From here comes the SWIRLING! Take half of the chocolate batter and spread it onto the bottom of your baking pan. Then spread one half of the pumpkin batter on top of that. With the remaining two batters, drop dollops evenly into the baking pan. Take a kitchen knife and drag it gently through the batter to create a swirled top.

Bake at 350 for 45-48 minutes and you’ll be thrilled with the yummy fall treat result!

Here is the Pumpkin Brownies Recipe!! 😀
