How to Make Squash Brownies With Chocolate Swirl Topping
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pureed butternut squash, brown sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the nuts (if using).
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter.
- Swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter using a knife or toothpick.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
