Nothing screams fall and holiday season like a warm batch of brownies fresh out of the oven. And with these delicious recipes, you can indulge in the cozy, sweet sensation without the guilt.
First up, we have Pumpkin Spice Latte Brownies. These decadent treats combine two beloved fall flavors into one irresistible dessert. To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. In a separate bowl, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until fully combined.
Next, add 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons of strongly brewed coffee (or espresso) to the batter. Mix until smooth and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares.
