Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin purée, then fold this into the chocolate mixture.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and add 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
- Carefully pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and remaining pumpkin purée until smooth.
- Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter and swirl to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips and chopped pecans on top.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
- Slice into squares and serve warm, optionally with ice cream or powdered sugar.
