# Ingredients List:
01 -
120 g pumpkin purée
02 -
135 g pure maple syrup or granulated sugar
03 -
60 g almond butter or unsalted butter, softened
04 -
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
05 -
60 g oat flour
06 -
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
07 -
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
08 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
09 -
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
10 -
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
11 -
55 g mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
12 -
Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for topping
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 20 × 20 cm baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
02 -
In a large bowl, stir together pumpkin purée, maple syrup or sugar, almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk oat flour with baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well blended.
04 -
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture, mixing until a uniform batter forms.
05 -
Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed.
06 -
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
07 -
If desired, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the surface.
08 -
Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre emerges mostly clean.
09 -
Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing with a sharp knife.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Store at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerate up to a week, or freeze individual pieces for longer storage. Reheat slices in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to enjoy warm.
02 -
For vegan brownies, use almond butter and maple syrup. Oat flour keeps these gluten-free; substituting almond flour will affect texture.
03 -
For cleaner slices, ensure brownies are fully cooled and wipe the knife between cuts. To scale up, double all ingredients for a 33 x 23 cm pan, extending bake time by 5–10 minutes.

Cinnamon-sugar topping introduces a delicate crunch but is optional.
