Vegan Bite-Size Pumpkin Brownies

Whenever Chocolate-Covered Katie posts a dessert she whipped up on Pinterest, I need to make it.  Her recipes are so easy and don't include ingredients that you have to go to an expensive health food store for.  The other day she posted her Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Brownies.  I looked at the ingredients and knew I had to try it out.  I've made vegan brownies before, seen here and also tried a few other recipes that called for black beans, but they either had too much sugar or simply did not taste like brownies.

Well, now I have the best go-to brownie recipe derived from Katie's Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Brownies.


With some alterations from Katie's recipe, here's what I did:
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp plus 1/16 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 more T sugar
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 T oil
  • 2 T non-dairy milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 330 degree F and grease a mini-muffin pan.  Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Combine wet ingredients in a smaller bowl, then add wet to dry and mix well.  Scoop mixture into muffin pan and bake for about 10, but check with a toothpick first to make sure they are done.  Let cool and add powdered sugar or dip them in some frosting... or eat them as is, which is what I did!


Warning: you will not want to stop eating these suckers!  They are so fudgy and chocolaty.  If you love chocolate, try this recipe out!
