  • 1 cup Almond flour Can substitute with flour for a non-gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder Unsweetened cocoa powder works best.

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor.
  • 1 tsp Baking powder Helps brownies rise.

  3. Stir in the baking powder and salt.
  4. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Baking

Cooling and Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let it cool before slicing into squares.

Notes

Ensure your pumpkin is well-mixed to avoid lumps in the batter. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for cleaner edges. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
