Pumpkin Brownies Simple & Low-Fat

Different than the first version I have posted in 2009. Closer to the Nestle original recipe. I used a teaspoon of that amazing black cocoa powder from Shady Maple, but regular cocoa powder is just as yummy. It's 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of pumpkin, or 10 tablespoons if you only want to get one utensil dirty.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 brownies

Ingredients

• 10  tablespoons pumpkin puree (real pumpkin, NOT pumpkin pie mix)
• 2  eggs
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1  cup flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1  teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup chocolate chips (Ghiradelli milk chocolate big chips...yum)

Directions

1. Whisk the pumpkin, eggs, and sugar in a bowl together.
2. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, cocoa, salt, and spice until the batter is smooth and there are no more lumps.
3. Beat in the chocolate chips.
4. Grease a 8x8 pan with cooking spray or oil. Pour the batter in and smooth it out on top, then bake at 350F for 25 minutes. Makes 12 smallish brownies but I totes ate the whole pan for dinner. Hehe. Since they're mostly pumpkin, I didn't feel guilty. :).
