Pumpkin Brownies from scratch

Name: Pumpkin Brownies from scratch Recipe
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 1 cup plain pumpkin or sweet potato puree; 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses; 2 tbsp honey; 2 tbsp brown sugar (this part can be variable and depends on taste - I added the extra sugar after tasting the batter); 3/4 cup eggbeaters (or 3 eggs); 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour; 1 tsp baking powder; 1/4-1/3 cup cocoa powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 tsp rum or vanilla; 1/2 tsp cinnamon*; 1/4 tsp nutmeg*; 1/2 tsp allspice*; 1/3 cup chocolate chips (or half chocolate chips/half nuts or dried fruit); unsweetened coconut flakes*; * optional; Beat everything together except the coconut until well-blended. As mentioned above you can add extra sugar to taste especially if you don't use chocolate chips or use extra cocoa powder. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch pan sprinkle with coconut and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes. Do not overbake as this recipe is rather dry.; I am still working on this recipe and may add more honey or other liquid to compensate for the dryness. The baking estimate is quite rough as I actually baked it for more than 25 minutes (I didn't hear the timer go off). They still turned out quite good but rather dry.
