Pumpkin Brownie
Ingredients:
- Wheat flour - 3/4th cup
- Baking powder - ½ tsp.
- Salt - ½ tsp
- Olive oil - 3/4th cup
- Brown sugar - 1 ½ cup
- Vanilla extract - 2 tsps.
- Eggs - 3
- Cocoa powder - ¼ cup
- Pumpkin puree - ½ cup
- Ground cinnamon - ¾ tsp
- Ground cloves - ½ tsp
- Ground nutmeg - ½ tsp
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- In another bowl, stir together the olive oil, sugar, and vanilla extract; beat in the eggs one at a time with a spoon. Gradually add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it's evenly moistened. Divide the batter in half in two separate bowls.
- Into one bowl of batter, blend the cocoa powder. In the second bowl of batter, stir in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Spread ½ of the chocolate batter into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, and follow with ½ of the pumpkin batter. Repeat the layers, ending with a pumpkin layer, and 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. Cool in the pan, cut into squares, and serve.
