Weeks ago I started on my pumpkin journey to whip up as many concepts I could dream of. Last year I felt that I was late to the game and there were countless recipes I still wanted to do, but the season was wrapping up. That being said, I have so many goodies I can’t wait to share with you!
What’s fab about pumpkin? it’s accessible, affordable, packs nutrients, a mellow flavor, provides moisture in baked goods, and takes on a natural sweet flavor when combine with just a touch of pumpkin spice!

Vegan Double Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 6-8 small brownies 1x
Description
Flourless & GF
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plus 2Tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 1/2 banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1tbs coffee grains (optional)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, additional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with 1/2 teaspoon of liquid vegetable oil. This will prevent the brownies from sticking to the paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine peanut butter, pumpkin, mashed banana, and sugar or maple syrup. In another bowl combine the coco powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the wet to dry and combine removing any lumps. Fold in the chocolate chips and top with additional if desired.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is done. The less done they are the more fudge like the texture will be, which is still good! Allow to cool for 15 minutes, slice and transfer onto a cooling rack to cool down completely and firm up for at least 30 mins to 1 hour. Store the brownies in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
5 stars! I made these for my mom’s bday. Made them the day before and stored them in parchment paper in a closed container. We loved them! Soo good. I didnt add the optional coffee grains. Had sunflower butter to use up. It was still good but I def will use almond butter like you suggested next time! I like having a nut free dessert option at times. I rarely make brownies, so it was nice that your recipe came together really simply and quick! Thanks for the tasty treat.
