How to Make Healthy Pumpkin Brownies from Scratch

Who needs boxed brownie mix when you can make this moist and healthy version in one bowl in under 30 minutes? Seriously, it’s that easy.

Even better? There are a few alternatives that you can make to this pumpkin brownies recipe to accommodate dietary restrictions and taste preferences.

First of all, the ingredients you need to make the best healthy pumpkin brownies:

• Eggs
• Coconut oil
• Maple Syrup
• Pumpkin Puree
• Cocoa Powder (or cacao powder)
• Almond Flour
• Chocolate Bars or chips of your choice
• Pumpkin Spices
• Sea Salt
• Baking soda (optional)

Note:

For this pumpkin brownies recipe, you can either make your own pumpkin puree or purchase canned puree. If you do decide to purchase canned pumpkin puree, make sure you are buying “Pumpkin Puree” not “Pumpkin Pie Puree” which contains additional sweeteners and spices in addition to pumpkin

How to Make Your Own Pumpkin Puree

If you are feeling super domestic, try making pumpkin puree yourself! It does taste better than store-bought. And you get to toast the pumpkin seeds afterward, that’s obviously a bonus!

First, cut off the cord of a sugar pumpkin. Bake it in the oven at 375 F for at least an hour or until a fork can poke through.

Secondly, cut the cooled pumpkin in half. Once it’s cool enough, scoop out the pumpkin seeds (save these for later..you can toast them for a crunchy snack)!

Then, use a spoon to scoop the pumpkin out of its skin. Blend in a high-speed blender or food processor until it turned into a smooth puree.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Paleo Pumpkin Brownies

Here are a few tips and tricks on how to get the most perfect gooey healthy pumpkin brownies on the first try.

1. Melt the Chocolate

I used a double pot method to melt the chocolate. You can certainly melt it in the microwave, but it’s easier to control the temperature and texture using a stovetop method.

2. Paleo Pumpkin Brownies calls for a Swirl

In order to get that pumpkin swirl on top, fold in the pumpkin puree at the end instead of mixing it in with the brownie batter.

3. Chocolate and Sea salt

Sea salt. Always! It pairs seamlessly with chocolate. Whenever I make these chocolate brownies, my friends’ first reaction is always, “That sea salt on top though!”. Quite the showstopper.

4. Baking Soda

If you prefer super gooey and fudgy brownies, you can omit the baking soda altogether.

5. Paleo pumpkin brownie Baking Time

I baked these for exactly 24 minutes at 350 degrees F. However, every oven is different. I recommend starting with 20 minutes and use a toothpick to test how done the center of the brownies are. My toothpick came out just slightly wet, so I know it’s not totally raw but also not overcooked.

How to make these Paleo Pumpkin Brownies Keto-Friendly

In order to make Keto friendly pumpkin brownies, you can substitute the maple syrup used in this recipe with Keto approved sweetener, such as monk fruit extract, monk fruit sweetened maple syrup.

You are not going to believe this decadent chocolate dessert is completely guilt-free, and even healthy paleo, gluten-free, and keto!
