¾ tsp

Butternut pumpkin, cooked without added fat

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly spray a 20cm (base measurement) square cake tin with oil and line with baking paper.
  2. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Combine pumpkin, maple syrup, spread, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in melted chocolate until well combined.

Notes

Tip: Suitable to freeze. Wrap individual brownies in plastic wrap and store them together in a zip-lock bag. Thaw at room temperature or unwrap each brownie and microwave about 20 seconds.
