Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons natural applesauce
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Pumpkin Spice M&Ms, to top
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 inch pan and set aside.
  2. Crack eggs and beat lightly. Add cocoa, salt, baking powder, vanilla, and applesauce. Beat to combine.
  3. In a microwave safe dish, combine butter and sugar. Melt on low power, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves into the butter (don’t let it get hot enough to bubble though). For my microwave, it took 2.5 minutes at power level 3. Alternately, you could melt together the butter and sugar with a double boiler on the stove.
  4. Add butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, and beat to combine. Gradually add the flour and pumpkin pie spice to the mix. When the batter is combined, gently fold the dark chocolate chips in.
  5. Spread batter evenly into greased pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. About halfway through the baking process, sprinkle the Pumpkin Spice M&Ms on top of the brownies - when they are partially cooked the candies will not sink to the bottom of the batter! Allow brownies to cool completely. Cut into squares. Store in a sealed container, or serve immediately. Enjoy!
