Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies

You may be expecting a pumpkin flavored brownie reading that recipe name.  But you’d be wrong!  These are somewhere between fudgy and cakey but 100 percent chocolaty!   The pumpkin and yogurt makes them super moist and dare I say nutritious? I mean, you could probably even say the ingredients are similar to an ingredient list for muffins… so yeah, you could have a piece for breakfast.

I made these using homemade pumpkin puree but if you use some from a can I won’t call the pumpkin police on you.

CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN BROWNIES

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the pumpkin, yogurt, oil, and vanilla and stir until combined.  Stir in half the chocolate chips.
Line a 9 by 13 pan with parchment paper and spread batter in pan.  Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top of batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted has moist crumbs but no liquid.
Let cool to room temperature before cutting.
