Secret to Chewy Brownies

When you want fudgy, chewy brownies- the secret is to use a higher amount of fat, compared to the flour. Also, slightly underbake so the brownies can finish baking as they are cooling.

How to Make Pumpkin Coffee Cake Brownies

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. STREUSEL TOPPING: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the oat flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Then, cut in the butter using a pastry blender or clean hands, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles. Set in the fridge.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the pumpkin, butter, brown sugar, and milk. Next, whisk in the baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, oat flour, and gluten free flour blend.
4. Spread mixture into a greased 9x9 baking dish. Then, sprinkle the streusel on top. Bake for 38-40 minutes.
5. Store pumpkin brownies in the fridge.

When are brownies done baking?

It can be difficult to determine when fudgy brownies are finished baking. The edges should be set and the batter shouldn’t jiggle when the baking dish is moved. When lightly pressing on the brownies, they should feel firm.

How to get perfectly sliced brownies

• Allow the brownies to cool completely.
• Use a plastic knife.
• Run a metal knife under hot water and wipe off .

Can I use pumpkin pie filling?

For this recipe, I recommend pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling also comes in a can and looks very similar; however, sugar and other ingredients have already been added to the pumpkin. At the very least, the final dish will be much sweeter and the final consistency could be different.
