It’s no surprise that I’m feeling pumpkin desserts these days, y’all. First it was my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies, and now we have these Fudgey Pumpkin Brownies to balance things out!
And for more healthy pumpkin treats to check out this fall, don’t miss out on these as well:
- Healthy Pumpkin Oat Cookies
- Chocolate Chip Pecan Pumpkin Bread
- Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding
- Golden Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Pie Energy Balls
But for or any other die-hard chocolate lovers out there, these are for you. They’re filled with lots of fudgey goodness and wholesome ingredients that both your sweet tooth and body will love.
The base of these brownies is made from almond flour, pumpkin purée and cacao powder, making them naturally gluten free. Plus, pumpkin is one of the best additions to both sweet and savory recipes thanks to the amazing moisture and subtle sweetness it provides.
Pumpkin is also rich in vitamin A and antioxidants that can help support your immune system, protect eye health, promote healthy skin and more.
But while pumpkin is key to holding these brownies together, chocolate is the real star of the show! Cacao powder provides tons of antioxidants, iron, calcium, beta-carotene and magnesium to support immune health, benefit digestion, boost cognitive performance and more.
I encourage y’all to try out my favorite brand, Karen Berrios Superfoods for the highest quality you can find. You can also use code GOODNESSWITHG for 20% off your order!
But what is any fall treat without pumpkin spice, right? This is one of my go-to spice mixes for just about anything, but it’s especially tasty in baked goods. I usually find mine at Trader Joe’s, but you can snag a jar at most any grocery.
You could even whip up your own pumpkin pie spice mix if you’re feeling extra *domestic* too! It’s just a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice, which together just scream fall. Plus, these are all packed anti-inflammatory properties for an added health boost!
And since I’m always trying to make things easy and simple in the kitchen, this recipe is a one bowl wonder. Just throw all of your ingredients together, and bake it up into tasty, healthy brownies.
Give me a shout if you decide to whip up these chocolate-y babies yourself!
