Pumpkin Brownies

Instructions

• Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Stir sugar, melted butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl.
• Add one egg and mix with a spoon until well incorporated. Repeat to add remaining 2 eggs, mixing well after each addition.
• Gradually add flour mixture and stir the batter until evenly moistened. Pour 1/2 of the batter back into the medium bowl that held the flour mixture.
• Stir chocolate chips and cocoa into one bowl of batter. Stir pumpkin puree, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg into the second bowl of batter.
• Spread 1/2 of the chocolate batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, and follow with 1/2 of the pumpkin batter. Repeat the two layers once more.
• Drag a kitchen knife or small spatula gently through the layers in a swirling motion to create a marbled appearance.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before cutting into 16 squares.
• Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
