Well-known member
I've never made any. I have a recipe in The Ultimate Brownie Book by Bruce Weinstein, but I'm wondering if anyone has any T&Ts. If not, I'll make these and report back. TIA!

 
Do you mean pumpkin squares that are frosted? Or do you mean

pumpkin with chocolate? I have a pretty good recipe for pumpkin squares but there's no chocolate involved.

 
Mimi, I have a Chocolate Pumpkin Brownie Recipe from Food & Wine '97 ...>

if you would like me to post it. The Pumpkin Batter is dropped into the Chocolate Batter.

Also, have a recipe for Pumpkin Brownies with dollops of Cream Cheese placed on the pumpkin batter. It is a recipe from Bon Appetit but can't find the date.

If you wish either, let me know and I'll post them.

They are not tried and true however, just have them in my recipe file.

Gay I would love both of those, but ONLY if you already have them typed up, because...

I will probably only make these things once a year. So if you have them typed up (in a file that you can copy/paste), I'd like to add them to my recipe file too, but if not, please PLEASE don't bother!

 
Mimi, Recipe - Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies (Food & Wine Magazine 11/97)

Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies

Makes 24 brownies

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour


Chocolate Batter

5-1/2 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

1-1/4 sticks (5 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

4 large eggs, at room temperature

1-1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 heaping cup large walnut pieces (about 4 ounces), optional

Make the Pumpkin Batter: Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F. Lightly butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the sugar, scraping the bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg, then add the pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon and ginger. Stir in the flour.

Make the Chocolate Batter: Combine the semisweet chocolate and butter in a medium bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan with 1-inch of simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. In a large bowl, combine the eggs with the sugar, vanilla and salt; set the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water and using an electric mixer, beat at low speed until blended. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the mixture is warm to the touch. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Using a large rubber spatula, fold in the melted chocolate. Sift the flour over the warm batter and fold it in just until combined. Fold in the walnut pieces.

Spread the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared pan. Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of the pumpkin batter all over the top. Using the back of a butter knife, swirl the pumpkin batter into the chocolate; don't overdo it or the swirl pattern will be lost. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.

Enjoy!

 
These were good, Misplaced.

They were very low in fat, which was a plus. I'll keep this for when I'm actually dieting! (I'm off the wagon at the moment :eek:( )

I'm still looking though, becaise I had in mind a really buttery, fudgey pumpkin brownie.

 
Glad you liked them. I'm not sure the pumpkin "brownies" can come (m)

out "fudgy" because of the pumpkin. Most of the recipes I have seen say they are more cake like. Let me know if you find a fudgy one.

Here's another: REC: Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Squares...

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Squares

Makes 24

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon pumpkin-pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin purée
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

2. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin purée (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

3. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.

4. Lift cake from pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off foil, and use a serrated knife to cut into 24 squares.

Note: If you can’t find pumpkin-pie spice, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon each allspice and cloves (all ground).

Yeah I figured that too. But perhaps with a lot of butter? And rapping the pan in the middle...

of the baking time so that they'll fall. This may be worth some experimentation.
