Notes
Gluten-free Option
- Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour (affiliate link) in place of the flour. I like this option for baking.
So these are kind of the opposite of my normal recipes that focus on protein, but damn, they are really good! Supposedly the recipe makes 20 servings, which is weird, because when I made them I ate them in two days.
Ingredients
- Vegan butter – I used Miyokos, but you can use your favorite plant-based butter.
- Sugar – I used white sugar, because these are not healthy at all. I do have a healthier brownie recipe, if that’s what you’re going for. This one is definitely not that!
- Vanilla extract.
- Pumpkin Puree – I used this as my egg replacement.

- Flour – I used all-purpose flour. If you’re gluten-free, you could definitely use a 1:1 gluten-free flour replacement.
- Cocoa Powder.
- Salt.

- Vegan Chocolate Chips – I like the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks.

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F (171 C).
- Melt the vegan butter in a microwave-safe dish.

- In a bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. I like to do this by hand with a spatula, but you could also use a hand mixer if you want.

- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Doing this separately ensures that the salt ends up well mixed across the wet ingredients too.

- Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients slowly; I do a third at a time. Mix well.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.

- In a 9″x13″ pan, spray some oil. Add the brownie batter.

- Bake for 40-45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is kind of crunchy and the toothpick comes out mostly clean.
