What Makes Chocolate Brownies Special

Chocolate has that “save the best for last” quality to it, which is why it’s usually the last thing I eat before I go to bed. Double chocolate, triple chocolate, and more – it’s all okay – the more the merrier.

Now, let’s play a game and think about all the things chocolate can cure in life.  We can even list them – I’ll start.

1.) Chocolate cures boredom and sadness. Actually, chocolate cures feelings, in general.  Not that I think feelings should be cured ALL the time, but, let’s be honest, everyone’s feelings could use some “curing” SOME of the time, and chocolate is definitely one of the healthier quick remedies.

2.) Chocolate heals relationships. Because of the feelings thing, I guess.  It’s hard to be really mad at someone while you’re both eating chocolate.   Unless they’re not sharing.  Or they smear it in your hair, on your clothes or on just-painted walls.   This is basically how my kids behave with chocolate, now that I think of it…

3.) Chocolate helps you parent your children. If it weren’t for chocolate, all three of my children might still be in diapers.  Plus, they’d never clean up after themselves or listen to anything I have to say.

I know it’s frowned upon to use food as a reward, but I don’t just use any chocolate – I use really rich and dark, character-building, antioxidant-filled chocolate to bribe my kids, and, I believe they’re better people for it.  Or at least they’re not terribly worse off for it.  Or something…

Why should I put pumpkin in my brownies?

Pumpkin makes them healthy! Okay, so it also helps with the texture – pumpkin makes these flourless brownies gooey and moist. It also acts as a binding agent, so you don’t have to use as many eggs as a typical brownie recipe would require.

If you find yourself with extra pumpkin, you can use it up by making other pumpkin and chocolate recipes like Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies or Paleo Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips.

Can I use a different vegetable instead of pumpkin?

Sure! You could try another vegetable with similar texture like sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree too.

How to Store flourless Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies

You can store these brownies in an air-tight container in the fridge. They can also be frozen if wrapped tightly and stored in an air-tight container.

And, on that note, here is my delicious recipe for ooey gooey and HEALTHY Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies!

Get your ingredients ready and your oven preheated because it’s time to bake – let’s go!

Ingredients

Brownies:

• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2/3 cup coconut sugar
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons refined coconut oil or ghee melted
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate Hu Kitchen or Evolved Chocolate are great

Drizzle:

• 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and line an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and yolk, pumpkin, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil or ghee and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add in the cacao or cocoa, baking soda and salt and stir until fully combined and smooth. Fold in the dark chocolate, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until set in the center.
5. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature. These brownies are easier to cut after being chilled in the refrigerator. You can top them with drizzle either before or after cutting.
6. Combine the drizzle ingredients in a microwavable bowl and microwave in 2 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
7. Drizzle over the cooled brownies and allow it to set for about 20 minutes. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze to keep longer.
