Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let this mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Set aside 1 cup of the brownie batter for later use.

Step 7

In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Mix until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the remaining brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.

Step 9

Spoon the pumpkin mixture over the brownie layer and gently spread it out. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved brownie batter on top, then use a knife to swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to ensure fudgy brownies.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
