    Are you craving pumpkin desserts or wondering what to make with pumpkin purée!? These divine Swirled Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies are the perfect thing!

    I have been getting my pumpkin treat on lately. I can't help myself. Judging from my Pinterest feed neither can anyone else so I don't feel too bad. Just this month I've made this Pumpkin Dump Cake and Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars and now, these Pumpkin Swirl Brownies. These pumpkin brownies are one of my VERY favorite desserts to make in the fall, they always hit the spot.

    How to make Pumpkin Brownies: 

     I usually use a brownie mix and spiced it up to get my pumpkin fix in a brownie. You can also make this amazing, easy brownie recipe if you want to do it from scratch. 

    Ingredients for Brownie Batter:

    • Brownie Mix
    • Oil 
    • Eggs
    • Water

    Ingredients for Pumpkin Batter:

    • Sugar
    • Vanilla
    • Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Pumpkin Purée 
    • Salt 
    • Cinnamon

    How to make pumpkin brownies step by step recipe with photos of batter.

    Prepare brownie mix according to box directions. (Photo 1)

    In second bowl: beat vanilla, sugar and eggs with a hand mixer for 1 minute or until mixed well. (Photo 2)

    In third bowl: mix flour, salt and baking powder together. Pour into bowl two and beat together until mixed well. Now add pumpkin, oil and cinnamon. Beat until mixed. (Photos 3 and 4)

    Pour half of chocolate mix into the bottom of your 9×13 pan. Next, pour half of pumpkin mixture on top of that. Repeat both. 

    Use a rubber spatula to swirl the brownie and pumpkin batters around until it looks something like this.

    Bake for 35-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Now enjoy the delectable swirled goodness of pumpkin brownies!

    These are so divine, I'm not kidding when I say I have never loved a brownie more in my life! And oh yeah, they are delish with milk.

    When it comes to eating brownies, are you an edge person or a middle person? I'm all about the edges, and this ALL EDGES Brownie Pan is my favorite ever! I like to give it as a gift to fellow edge-lovers.

    Pumpkin Brownie Pro Tips: 

    Most of the time when I make these brownies, I make them in a square 9x9 pan for about 40-45 minutes. They come out thick. They are cake-like. The picture on the left shows what they look like using this method. 

    If you prefer a gooey brownie, you can cook them through but slightly less (35-40 minutes) and they will look more like the brownies on the right. Those were cooked in a 9x13 dish, which is why they also look thinner. 

    For a clean straight cut, let brownies fully cool, and use a plastic knife to cut them.

      The pumpkin paired so well with the chocolate flavor. I seriously love these more than classic brownies.
