Frosted Pumpkin Brownies



Ingredients
Brownies:


  1. 12 oz unsalted butter
  2. 2 oz dark chocolate chips
  3. 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  4. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  5. 1 tsp pumpkin spice extract
  6. 1/2 cup buttermilk
  7. 3 eggs
  8. 1 cup pumpkin puree
  9. 1 cup all purpose flour
  10. 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  11. 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  12. 1 tsp baking powder
  13. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  14. 1/4 tsp salt


Frosting:


  1. 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  2. 8 oz cream cheese softened
  3. 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  4. 3 cups powdered sugar
  5. 1/2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice



Instructions
Brownies:


  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter, and then add chocolate chips, vanilla, and brown sugar. Keep stirring with a silicone-covered whisk until melted and smooth. Take off heat.
  • Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Whisk slowly and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
  • Whisk in buttermilk until combined.
  • Whisk in eggs until combined and smooth.
  • Whisk in pumpkin puree until smooth.
  • Sift in flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until all smooth and all incorporated.
  • Pour mixture into the 9x13 baking dish, spreading evenly. Gently tap on the counter a couple of times to make sure it's spread evenly. Bake for 40-42 minutes.
  • *Tip: bake brownies for about 5 less minutes if you want them gooey.


Frosting:


  • Make sure that brownies are completely cooled before adding frosting or you will melt the frosting.
  • Beat butter in a bowl of an electric mixer, on medium-high speed, for about a minute, until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese, and beat on medium-high speed, until smooth, 1–2 minutes.
  • Scrape bottom and sides of the bowl, and add pumpkin puree. Beat for a couple more minutes.
  • Lower speed to low and beat in powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Turn up the speed back to medium-high and beat 3–4 minutes, until the frosting is light, smooth, and fluffy.
  • Refrigerate 15–20 minutes before spreading over brownies.
  • Spread frosting all over cooled brownies. 
  • Store brownies in the refrigerator because of the cream cheese frosting.
