Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • For the Pumpkin Swirl:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
  7. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  9. Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  10. Dollop spoonfuls of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  11. Gently swirl the pumpkin mixture into the brownie batter using a knife or skewer.
  12. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the swirled mixture.
  13. Add more dollops of the pumpkin mixture and swirl again.
  14. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  15. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth cheesecake swirl.
  • You can omit nuts if you prefer a nut-free brownie.
