Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9×9 inch (17×17 cm) baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the pumpkin puree, agave or maple syrup, and vegetable oil. Stir all ingredients together until the batter is completely smooth and evenly mixed.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight wobble. This ensures a moist and fudgy interior.
Cool Down: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Cooling helps the brownies to set further and allows easier cutting.
Serve: Once cooled, cut the brownies into 9 equal squares. Enjoy them fresh or slightly warmed for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use canned pumpkin puree for consistent texture and flavor; homemade puree works but may vary.
Optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts can be added, but keep the total amount under ½ cup to maintain texture.
Allow brownies to cool for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing; this helps them finish cooking and makes for cleaner cuts.
