Pumpkin Brownies with Cinnamon Chips

Have I mentioned that we like pumpkin? I realize that most people abandon pumpkin after the holidays. Not us, we eat pumpkin desserts year round. And since pumpkin is so healthy, it makes us feel a little less guilty about indulging in one of our favorite vices: cinnamon chips.

My daughter just peeked over my shoulder and said, “I don’t like the words indulge and vice used in connection with food. It makes eating sound like a crime”. Perhaps eating pumpkin brownies with cinnamon chips is not a crime, but if you eat them for breakfast, as she is planning on doing, you should probably feel at least a twinge of guilt.

Pumpkin Brownies with Cinnamon Chips

Course Dessert
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 12
Author Alea

Ingredients

  • 1 – 15 oz. can pureed pumpkin
  • 1 cup applesauce or 1 cup oil or 1/2 cup of each
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 – 10 oz. bag cinnamon chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, thoroughly combine pumpkin, applesauce, eggs, and brown sugar.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.
  • Stir flour mixture into pumpkin mixture. Mix well.
  • Stir cinnamon chips into the batter.
  • Pour batter into a greased 13 x 9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

*I used applesauce which produces a cake like brownie. If you use oil you will get a denser, chewier brownie. And half a cup of each produces something in between the two extremes.

    I certainly wouldn't feel any more guilty about having one of these for breakfast than I would about having french toast or pancakes! This looks like a stellar recipe and I would love to give it a shot.

    Visiting from Tasty Tuesday 🙂

    Yum! I can't wait to try this recipe, it's very similar to my favorite recipe ever, the pumpkin bread I bake all the time. This would be a nice twist.

    I just printed this out and think I'll make it to take with my to Bible Study tonight. I don't have any cinnamon chips but I think chocolate chips will work just fine.

    Thanks so much!

    I found you through Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.

    I love pumpkin! Unfortunately in England they only appear on the shelves 1 week before Halloween and are all gone by November 2nd 🙁 We don't get canned pumpkin here either – what kind of backwards country am I in? lol!

    That aside, I love the sound of this recipe and have printed out a copy so I can try it this year when the elusive pumpkins make their appearance 🙂 Thanks for sharing it, I'm hungry just reading it!

    I'm also taking part in the Hearth & Soul hop and that's how I found your blog.

    I'd love to have these for breakfast – or any other time of day for that matter!! They sound so good! I can't get cinnamon chips here in England (yet) but even so I'm sure they will be absolutely delicious anyway 🙂

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
