Ingredients


    * 6 squares (1 oz each) unsweetened baking chocolate
    * 1/4 Cup margarine
    * 1 1/4 Cup white flour
    * 1 tsp baking powder
    * 1/4 tbsp cayenne pepper
    * 1/2 tsp salt
    * 1 cup brown sugar (unpacked)
    * 2 large eggs
    * 2 egg whites
    * 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
    * 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
    * 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
    * 1/4 tsp nutmeg
    * 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
    * 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions

*Makes 16 brownies*

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9x9 baking pan.

In a double-boiler, melt chocolate and margarine together, stirring until smooth. Set aside.

Whisk flour, baking powder, cayenne and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, place eggs and whites, sugar and vanilla. beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and well combined. Slowly add flour mixture, beat until mixed. Divide batter into 2 separate, medium-sized bowls.

In one bowl, add pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pie spice (if using). Mix well.

In other bowl, add chocolate/margarine mixture. Mix well. You'll need to work quickly here, as the chocolate mixture will begin to set quickly and take on the texture of thick frosting!

Transfer half of chocolate batter to pan, spread evenly. Pour half of pumpkin batter over chocolate layer, spread evenly. Repeat with remaining chocolate and pumpkin batters.

With a little spatula or knife, carefully swirl the two batters to create a marbled look. Sprinkle with pecans.

Bake until set, 40 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack, then cut into 16 squares.

Eat!
