Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked butternut squash (pureed)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Squash: If using fresh squash, peel, seed, and cube it before steaming until tender. Alternatively, use canned butternut squash puree.
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed butternut squash, cocoa powder, maple syrup, eggs, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into squares. Enjoy warm or chilled, possibly topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
