Print Recipe

These fudgy brownies feature a signature crackly sugar top and a soft, spiced interior infused with pumpkin puree and bourbon for a sophisticated yet comforting fall treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in the microwave or saucepan and let it cool slightly so it is warm but not hot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar vigorously for about 2 minutes until glossy and thickened.
  3. Add the eggs, bourbon, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and lighter in color.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the pumpkin puree until incorporated.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the center looks slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to ensure a fudgy texture rather than a cakey one. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to prevent them from being mushy. The alcohol cooks off during baking, leaving only the flavor. For extra fudginess, remove from oven at 25 minutes.
