Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

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 granulated sugar.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  8. Beat in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg yolk, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  9. Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  10. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the pumpkin mixture.
  11. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the pumpkin mixture into the brownie batter.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  13. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, sprinkle the top with a little cinnamon sugar before baking.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened for a smooth cheesecake swirl.
  • Don’t overbake the brownies, as they will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
