PUMPKIN SWIRL BROWNIE RECIPE INGREDIENTS 

Let’s go over the ingredients used in this pumpkin swirl brownie recipe. Using high-quality ingredients is key to producing the best tasting brownies!

• Butter: I always bake with salted butter. It doesn’t contain any flavorings that unsalted butter has. Just two ingredients; cream and salt. You can use unsalted butter if you prefer, you may just need to increase the sea salt by ¼ teaspoon in the recipe! 
• Sugar: Use your favorite granulated or organic cane sugar! This is the one that I use in all of my baking.  
• Brown Sugar: Light or dark brown sugar work in this recipe. I like to use light brown sugar in my brownies.
• Eggs: Make sure that your eggs are room temperature for the best results. 
• Vanilla Extract: Always use pure vanilla extract (not imitation) for the best tasting baked treats!
• Cocoa Powder: Use a high quality cocoa powder for the best tasting brownies. My top choices are Ghirardelli, Valrhona, and Rodelle.
• All-Purpose Flour: I always use unbleached all-purpose flour in my baking. You can also use pastry flour or all-purpose gluten free flour with great results as well!
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: Use your favorite brand of sweetened condensed milk. I do not recommend using a fat-free version. 
• Pumpkin Puree: Make sure that you use pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin filling.
• Homemade Pumpkin Spice: I like to make my own pumpkin spice mix for this recipe. You will need cinnamon, ginger, and ground cloves.

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT PUMPKIN SWIRL BROWNIES 

This pumpkin swirl brownie recipe is easy to make and requires only a few steps! Let’s go through the steps to make sure you end up with the perfect brownies.

STEP ONE: MELT BUTTER AND SUGARS

The first step in this brownie recipe is to melt the butter and sugars together. This step can be done on the stovetop or in the microwave.

1. Stovetop - Heat butter and sugars in a saucepan over low heat until the butter has completely melted. 
2. Microwave - Place butter and sugars in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 60 seconds. Stir and heat in 30 second increments, stirring between, until the butter is completely melted.

STEP TWO: ADD THE EGGS AND VANILLA 

Next, beat the eggs with the vanilla in a separate bowl. Add the beaten eggs to the melted butter/sugar mixture and whisk well to combine.

STEP THREE: ADD DRY INGREDIENTS

Add the dry ingredients to the brownie batter and mix until combined and your batter is smooth.

STEP FOUR: MAKE PUMPKIN PIE FILLING

In a blender or food processor, add the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, and spices and blend until smooth.

STEP FIVE: SWIRL BATTER AND BAKE

Spread half of the brownie batter evenly in a parchment lined baking pan. Pour the pumpkin pie filling on top of the batter and use a knife to swirl. Add the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls over the swirled batter and swirl is once more. Bake the brownies.

STEP SIX: COOL, DRIZZLE WITH CHOCOLATE, & ENJOY

Once the pumpkin swirl brownies are done baking, let them cool completely in the baking pan. These brownies are best served at room temperature or slightly chilled so that the pumpkin pie filling can set. 

When your brownies are completely cool, make a thin chocolate ganache or melt some chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Drizzle the chocolate over the brownies, cut into squares, and enjoy!
