Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. This will ensure there are no lumps and will help the dry ingredients mix evenly.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense brownies.

          Add Extras: Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using. This step adds a delicious texture and flavor to your brownies.

            Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

                Enjoy! Serve your pumpkin brownies warm or at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
