Pumpkin Caramel Swirl Brownies
Ingredients
For the pumpkin caramel:
- ½ cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
- ¼ cup unsweetened smooth almond butter
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk
- 2 tablespoons lucuma powder, or 1 tablespoon carob powder
- 1/8 teaspoon pure stevia powder, or ¼ teaspoon plain or vanilla pure stevia liquid
- Pinch fine sea salt
For the brownies:
- 8 ounces unsweetened pumpkin purée, about 1 cup
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup virgin coconut oil, softened
- ¼ cup unsweetened smooth almond butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut nectar
- 2 tablespoons whole psyllium husks
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk, plus more if needed
- ¼ teaspoon pure stevia powder, or ½ teaspoon plain or vanilla pure stevia liquid
- 1 cup Ricki’s All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix, see recipe here
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Spread about half of the batter in the pan. Dollop the caramel randomly over the batter, leaving a few empty spots here and there. Dollop with the remaining brownie batter, filling the empty spots and covering some of the caramel if necessary.
- Use a thin spatula or knife to gently swirl and fold the batter (as you would egg whites into a batter), so that some of the caramel ends up under the brownie batter. Gently smooth the top if there are any gaps.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through baking, until a tester inserted into the brownie portion comes out clean but moist. Allow to cool before cutting into squares. May be frozen.
