2 cups Whole Wheat Flour 2 cups Pure Pumpkin Puree ⅔ cup Cocoa Powder 1 cup Honey or Maple Syrup ½ cup Vegetable Oil 4 Egg Whites 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon Baking Powder ½ teaspoon Baking Soda 1 pinch of Salt 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Preheat your oven to 350 F.
Line a large brownie pan with the parchment paper or oil it and dust it with some flour.
In a large bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In another bowl mix the egg whites, oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract and 1 ⅔ cup of pumpkin puree. Set the ⅓ pumpkin puree aside.
Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and mix everything well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Scoop ½ of the batter into another bowl. Add the cocoa powder and the ⅓ of the reserved pumpkin puree and mix everything thoroughly.
Scoop the chocolate batter into the brownie pan. Dollop the pumpkin batter over the chocolate batter and swirl in with a knife.
Bake for about 35 minutes. Check the bars for doneness with a toothpick and if they’re still sticky inside, bake for another 5 minutes.
Cool the bars before taking them out of the pan and slicing them.
The recipe makes 20 bars, enjoy!
