Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking pan
- mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- oven
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (your favorite brand)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
- 1 large egg (optional, for 5-ingredient version)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and grease or line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the brownie mix and pumpkin puree until fully combined with no dry spots.
- Add pumpkin pie spice and chocolate chips. If using, also stir in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes or until edges look set and the center is just slightly soft to the touch.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter or overbake — pumpkin keeps it moist but can make it soggy if overdone.
Use the 4-ingredient version for a quick fix, or add an egg and vanilla for a richer texture.
Top with cream cheese swirl or crushed pecans for extra indulgence.
