Instructions
Creating Pumpkin Patch Brownies is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve brownie perfection:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree until well blended.
4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, followed by cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in chocolate chips for an extra chocolaty experience.
7. Spread in Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
9. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Frost (Optional): Once cool, spread cream cheese frosting on top for added flavor and decoration.
