How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Pie Brownies Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. **Brownie Layer:**
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. (If using wheat flour, omit xanthan gum).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup melted vegan chocolate chips.
  6. **Pumpkin Layer:**
  7. In a separate large bowl, beat together 1 cup pumpkin puree, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan), 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. **Assemble & Bake:**
  9. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  10. Pour the pumpkin layer over the brownie layer. Smooth the top.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (don't overbake!).
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the brownies to set completely.
  13. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. Garnish with vegan chocolate chips (optional).
