Instructions

Oven 175°C / 350°F · 8x8 inch (20cm) square pan

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and line the pan.

  2. 2

    Whisk three-quarters of the pumpkin with yogurt, eggs, allulose and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Fold in cacao, oat flour, baking powder and salt, then spread into the pan.

  4. 4

    Stir pumpkin pie spice into the remaining pumpkin and spoon over the batter.

  5. 5

    Drag a knife through both mixtures to create broad swirls.

  6. 6

    Bake 21-25 minutes, then cool fully before slicing.

Doneness test

The edges are set and a skewer in a chocolate section carries thick moist crumbs.

Cooling

Cool fully, then chill 20 minutes for the fudgiest clean-cut squares.

Smart substitutions

  • Pumpkin and yogurt for butter and oil

    Create moisture and body while keeping the whole pan light.

    Texture: Dense and cakey-fudgy rather than buttery.

  • Allulose for sugar

    Keeps the full pan refined-sugar-free and low calorie.

    Texture: Extra-moist crumb that firms as it cools.

Pro baking tips

  • Use pure pumpkin, not sweetened pie filling.
  • Do not overbake; the brownies continue setting while cooling.

Make it even lighter

Swap an ingredient for a lower-calorie one, use less of it, or skip it altogether — with an honest note on what it does to the taste.
