How to Make Harry S Spiced Winter Chocolate Brownies Cook Yourself Thin

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 27cm x 20cm baking tin with vegetable oil.
  2. Place 400g pumpkin puree in a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover with cling film, and microwave on medium-high for 8 minutes.
  3. Remove from microwave, drain excess liquid, cover again, and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
  4. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 100g ground almonds, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Roughly chop 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) into chunks.
  7. In another bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, 50g honey, 25g maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  8. Once the pumpkin is slightly cooled, drain any remaining water and whisk until smooth.
  9. Add the chopped chocolate to the pumpkin puree and let it melt slightly. Stir to combine.
  10. Add the egg mixture to the pumpkin and chocolate mixture, beating until well combined. Then, gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined.
  11. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon roughly ground pink peppercorns.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  13. Let the brownies cool completely in the tin before cutting and serving.
