Introduction

Although there are many recipes to make pumpkin brownies using cake or brownie mixes, I wanted to make something that was extra healthy and came up with this recipe.

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.
