Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp ground flax + 5 tbsp hot water
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ground flax with 5 tablespoons of hot water. Let sit for a few minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix until well-combined.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree, canola oil, water, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Stir until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 29-34 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center pulls out mostly clean.
  7. Let mostly cool, then cut and enjoy brownies while still slightly warm.

Recipe Notes

  • These are very rich brownies. If you prefer sweeter, lighter brownies, you may want to alter the proportions of flour and cocoa powder.
  • This timing should yield fudgy brownies. If you prefer brownies that are more solid, you can cook a little longer, but be careful not to overcook.
  • This recipe yields 9 large brownies or 12 smaller brownies. The nutrition analysis below is based on 9 larger brownies.
