If you are in the Northwest you know the past few weeks have been so sun-less and dark, that it fees like dusk all day. Thunderstorms, sinuses crapping out and photos come out all blue and grey. On the bright side, all the warm blankets are out, the fire place is always going and chewie has started sleeping all rolled up like a super cute ball. He sleeps with his 4 legs in the air during summer for maximum air-eage 🙂
And of course some warm fall brownies will cheer me up. Creamy Spiced Pumpkin layered with a fudgy chocolate brownie. Whats not to like! Pumpkin puree spiced with pumpkin pie spices and thickened with cashews. Omit the cashews to make nut-free. Use any of my other brownie recipes for gluten and grain free options.

Vegan Pumpkin Brownies - Pumpkin Pie + Brownies
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
Wet
- 1/2 cup non dairy milk like almond or coconut
- 1 cup sugar, Use 2 Tbsp less for less sweet or if using semi-sweet chocolate instead of dark
- 2/3 cup vegan dark chocolate or 1 Theo 70% Dark chocolate bar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 Tbsp flax seed meal
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp flour, I use Spelt or unbleached white flour
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch or other starch, optional
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips to add to batter
Pumpkin Layer
- 1 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix
- 1/4 cup ground cashew or thick cashew cream
- 1.5 Tbsp cornstarch or other starch
- 3 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 Tbsp vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365 Degrees F / 180ºc.
Make the brownie layer
- Heat the almond milk to just about a boil. Add sugar and mix in well. Add dark chocolate, let sit for a minute then whisk well to melt. Add oil, flax, salt, cocoa and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Whisk the flour with starch, baking powder and baking soda and add to the wet ingredients. Mix to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop the batter onto parchment lined or greased baking pan and even it out.
Make the Pumpkin Layer
- Mix the ingredients under pumpkin layer until well combined.
- Drop pumpkin mixture over brownie batter and smooth out. Swirl if you like. (The brownie batter thickens and sets as it sits, so it might be difficult to swirl. Make the pumpkin layer mix first so the brownie layer does not have time to sit) Add chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 32 to 34 minutes at 365 degrees F / 180ºc or until a toothpick an inch from the side of the pan comes out almost clean. Do not over bake.
- Store on the counter top for the day, or refrigerated in a container for upto 5 days. Warm and serve.

Hi! While this tastes delicious, my brownie layer came out crumbly cake like. Ideas on what I did wrong?
Hi this looks so yummy. What should be the substitute of sugar. I can use only honey dates or jaggery
use powdered jaggery
So delicious.. what a perfect combination!
thanks!
Thank you for this nice recipe!!It’s seems so yummy!! I would like to reduce even sugar or oil… What do you suggest? (both will be great but i know it’s almost impossible if i want something gorgeous 😉
Thank you for your kind help
you can use half the sugar and oil. Anything less than that will make this into a cake
I can’t find anywhere in the brownie part of the instructions where you add the flax seed that is in the ingredients. I’m going to just throw them in with everything else. Hope that works! Can’t wait to eat these tonight.
It goes in order of ingredients, so with the oil. updated
You said no pumpking pie mix but I just found this one at the grocery. Does it matter?
it depends on whats in the pie mix. different brands different things. they should usually have a sweetener and spices mixed in. If that is the case, you can use it. You will just need to mix in some cashew cream thats all.
I made these tonight and accidentally omitted the flax seed…cuz i set it aside then totally forgot and had already put everything in. But they’re delicious!!! thanks for the recipe!! 🙂
awesome!!
