Ingredients

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
PUMPKIN BATTER:
1 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
2 large eggs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 13x9-in. baking pan with parchment, letting ends extend up sides; grease paper. In a large bowl, whisk sugar, flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk oil, eggs and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
For pumpkin batter, in a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk pumpkin and eggs; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Spread half the cocoa mixture into prepared pan (layer will be thin). Drop half the pumpkin mixture by tablespoonfuls over top; gently spread to cover most of brownie mixture. Drop remaining pumpkin and cocoa mixtures by tablespoonfuls over pumpkin layer. Gently spread and swirl.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Lifting with parchment, remove from pan. Cut into bars.

Pumpkin Brownies Tips

What are some variations of these pumpkin brownies?

Try throwing in some different add-ins into the mix! If you like nuts, stir 1 cup of chopped walnuts into the pumpkin batter before adding it to the pan. You can also add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips if you want—just keep in mind that it'll be a little more difficult to spread a thin layer over the bottom of the pan.
