To make these delicious brownies I started by melting butter in the  microwave.  

I poured the melted butter into a measuring cup and dumped in some pure pumpking puree.

After stirring in the pumpkin I added granulated sugar, Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, cocoa, baking powder, xanthan gum, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

Once the dry ingredients were incorparated I added in some large eggs.

I beat in the eggs until they were well combined.

Then I lined an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly sprayed it with cooking spray.

Next I scraped the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

I baked the Pumpkin Brownies in a preheated 375F oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out almost clean.

After 25 minutes I removed the brownie from the oven.

When cooled, I lifted the brownie out of the pan using the parchment paper.  I cut the Pumpkin Brownies into the serving sizes I preferred and that suited my occasion. 

 

The pumpkin flavor is mild but adds a cozy, autumnal twist to the classic brownie.

Enjoy every bite of this moist, delicious Pumpkin Brownie!
