Ingredients

1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons ground flax
1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 servings vegan protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder
2 tablespoons gluten free flour
2 tablespoons almond butter or tahini, cashew butter or sunbutter
1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice optional
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips Plus more for the top (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, add ground flax, water, pumpkin puree and maple syrup. Stir well.
1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons ground flax, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Add protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder and gluten free flour. Stir until all the flour is combined and lumps removed.
2 servings vegan protein powder (chocolate or vanilla), 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder, 2 tablespoons gluten free flour
Add almond butter, pumpkin pie spice and baking powder. Mix to combine.
2 tablespoons almond butter, 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon baking powder
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Spray a 8X8 or 9X13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Use your spatula to get all of the pumpkin brownie batter into the baking dish. Be sure to smooth out the top, as this doesn't rise or move very much in the oven.
Optional: add more chocolate chips to the top of the brownies for presentation.
Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Tip: these brownies are the BEST when they have been able to fully cool. Let them at least come to room temperature but they are even best if they can be stored in the fridge until cool.

If you do not have vegan protein powder:

Replace protein powder with 1 cup of almond flour and increase the maple syrup from 2 tbsp. to 4 tbsp.

Store brownies in the fridge for up to 5 days in a air tight container.
