Ingredients

Scale

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter, 2 cups sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Beat in the 4 eggs one at a time until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  7. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  8. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  9. Gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter using a knife or toothpick.
  10. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the swirled layer.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  12. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra fudgy brownie, do not overbake.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth swirl.
  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie batter for extra texture.
