Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies
as posted to @forums Recipes and Cooking forum by THE sisterjanet
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
Nonstick spray coating
In a large mixing bowl combine brown sugar, pumpkin, the whole egg, egg whites, and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and nutmeg. Beat on low speed until smooth. Stir in semisweet chocolate pieces.
Spray an 11 x 7 x 1-1/2" baking pan with nonstick coating. Pour batter into pan; spread evenly. Bake in a 350-degrees-F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 2" squares.
15 servings.
LYNDA SAYS: Very good stuff. Emily made these on Friday, which was way cool. "Serves 15" is optimistic; after a fairly large meal, 11 of us polished off the entire batch along with a little over half the fudge -- Michael doesn't like pumpkin, so his infamous appetite didn't contribute to the brownies' rapid consumption. This was the only recipe this Adventure that was not gluten-free.
