- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
For the Brownie Layer
- Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a baking dish for nonstick.
- In a medium mixing bowl use a whisk to combine together the cocoa powder, salt, flour and baking powder.
- Next, in a mixing bowl beat together the melted butter and sugar alternative until well combined. Then add the eggs one at a time, lightly mixing after each addition. You can then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients from the medium mixing bowl into the wet ingredient in the large bowl until just combined. Set this bowl aside.
For the swirl layer and finish.
- Beat the cream cheese on medium high speed until smooth and creamy. Then add the vanilla extract, egg, flour and half of the sugar alternative to the cream cheese. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Next, divide the cream cheese mixture into two separate bowls. In your second bowl add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, cinnamon and remaining sugar alternative and mix well.
- Pour about ¾ of the brownie batter, from the bowl that you had set aside earlier, into the prepared baking dish and evenly spread it in the baking dish using spatula or similar item.
- Now, alternate dropping spoonfuls of the cream cheese mix, pumpkin mix, and remaining brownie batter onto the top of the brownie batter layer. Then you can use a toothpick, skewer or even a chopstick to create swirls by dragging it lightly through the top layer of the ingredients in the baking dish.
- Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, uncovered. Then carefully cover the baking dish loosely with foil and continue to bake for an additional five to ten minutes or until a toothpick comes with a few moist crumbs in the center of the brownies.
- Allow the brownies to fully cool before slicing and serving.
