Description
These Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Brownies are a cozy fall treat combining warm spices, pumpkin purée, and a fudgy texture. Naturally gluten-free and easily made vegan, they’re perfect for holiday gatherings or afternoon cravings.
Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
2/3 cup pure maple syrup or regular sugar
1/4 cup almond butter or regular butter, softened
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Optional: 1 tbsp sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin purée, maple syrup (or sugar), almond butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- If using, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
Store at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Freeze individual slices for longer storage and thaw at room temperature.
Microwave for 10–15 seconds for a warm treat.
Use almond butter and maple syrup for a fully vegan version.
Oat flour keeps the recipe gluten-free; almond flour can be used but alters the texture.
The cinnamon-sugar topping adds a nice crunch but is optional.
Double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan and increase bake time by 5–10 minutes.
For clean slices, cool completely and use a sharp knife, wiping between cuts.
