Pumpkin Brownies

(2)

These healthy pumpkin brownies are packed with mini chocolate chips. Warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves pair well with the chocolate for a seasonal twist on a classic dessert. The batter will be thick, so be sure to spread it an even layer for even baking.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole-wheat pastry flour

  • ¼ cup cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 8-inch-square metal baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to overhang the edges. Coat with cooking spray.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
