Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans (if using).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For a richer brownie, use dark chocolate chips. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra fall flavor. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
