FAQs
Can I use coconut oil instead of vegan butter?
- Yes! Just make sure the coconut oil is melted and slightly cooled before adding it to the mixture. It’ll give the brownies a subtle coconut flavor too.
Can I make these gluten-free?
- Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
Do these taste like pumpkin pie?
- Not quite! They’ve got the same cozy spices, but the texture is more like a soft, chewy brownie with that slight pumpkin flavor. Perfect if you’re not in the mood for pie but still want all the fall feels.
Can I use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned?
- Yes, but make sure to strain any excess liquid from fresh puree to avoid making the batter too wet.
