Flourless Pumpkin Brownies

  • Author: Sarah Mendez
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 16 brownies 1x

Description

These Flourless Pumpkin Brownies are rich, fudgy, and naturally gluten-free. Made with almond butter, pumpkin puree, and cocoa powder, they’re a wholesome yet indulgent treat perfect for fall—or anytime you crave chocolatey comfort.

Ingredients

Scale

Essentials:

  • 3/4 cup almond butter (or other natural nut butter)
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and pumpkin purée. Stir until smooth. Add eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Nut-Free Option: Substitute sunflower seed butter for almond butter.
  • Pumpkin Sub: Homemade pumpkin purée works just as well—make sure it’s well-drained and smooth.
  • Cocoa Alternative: Carob powder can be used in place of cocoa powder for a unique flavor twist.
  • Don’t Overbake: Brownies continue to set as they cool, so remove them from the oven when slightly underdone for a fudgier texture.
