OK.
Do brownies have to be chocolate?
Do they have to be rich and gooey and delicious?
Let’s just say “No” to the former and a big “YES” to the latter.
I started decorating for Halloween today (yes, I am late), and I started to set out my only two pumpkins from the garden. I picked them in August and they have been chillin’ on the kitchen floor ever since.
The goblins must have been at it, however, because when I picked up the largest pumpkin (a Mammoth Gold variety), I noticed that it was getting a little soft on one side.
It was fated not to be a decoration but to get roasted in the oven.
This marvel yielded over 12 cups of pumpkin puree.
I made Avanika’s original pumpkin-sage cupcakes (see my last post) with part of it and I wanted to try something a bit different. I had not been to Martha’s site in a really long time but since Avanika pulled her recipe from there (and it was soooo gooood) I decided to mosey on over and look for more pumpkin recipes.
I found another keeper: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares.
You know I can’t leave well enough alone.
So I swapped in white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
The results were out of this world!
For the recipe, click here: Martha Stewart’s Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares.
To make my Pumpkin-White Chocolate Brownies, just add one bag of white chocolate morsels and leave out the chocolate chips.
These turned out quite delicious but a bit crumbly. They really reminded me of a “Knobby Apple Cake” that my mom makes. (Apple? Pumpkin? I know they are totally different, but this really reminded me of that apple cake.)
And so much for that healthy eating trend I started. But hey, I am taking more than half of them to work with me and hiding them far away from my office in the lounge.
Oh wow I love your brownie creation 🙂

I really enjoy the pumpkin season and all the creations using all different kinds of squashes. Your white chocolate brownies look divine!
I ADORE pumpkin season and with all I have in the freezer, I need to make pumpkin-foodie-stuff all year round!
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of the first recipe that brought me to your blog with the SRC-the white chocolate brownies. Which still make me die every time I think of them, which is totally why I haven’t made them yet. I would eat them ALL and dude. I really could use a lot less of good things right now b/c my thighs are just way too friendly with each other these days. Anyway, it looks like you put your pumpkin to good use–I really like the sound of white chocolate chips with pumpkin even better than chocolate chips (which I do love), but never would have thought of it!
Maybe I should call these Orangies?
I love brownies of all types & these look a-mazing 🙂
Who can follow a healthy eating trend with these delicious squares?
Thanks for the vote of confidence! 🙂
Yum! Nice work on the pumpkins from the garden. Love it!
Thanks, Kelli. I was lucky to get these two!
The switch to white chocolate chip sounds like a perfect change because these brownies are a knockout!
I am ready to revisit them again to see if I can work on the crumbliness.

These look delicious. Pumpkin and white chocolate are perfect companions. Can’t wait to try them.
Thanks. Hope you do.
