Indulge in the perfect autumn treat with our Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies!

Get ready to elevate your fall baking game this weekend with a recipe that’s sure to become a new seasonal favorite! When faced with the delightful dilemma of choosing between two beloved desserts – a rich pumpkin cheesecake and classic fudgy brownies – we decided, why choose just one?
The result? These incredible Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies! They seamlessly combine the decadent qualities of our favorite pumpkin cheesecake with the comforting chewiness of small batch brownies. Think of them as a delightful autumn cousin to our popular peanut butter cheesecake brownies, but with an enchanting fall twist, featuring warm pumpkin and aromatic cinnamon.
A secret ingredient in the brownie batter itself is cinnamon. This spice, often associated with pumpkin, surprisingly enhances the chocolate flavor, creating a deeper, more complex taste profile. We discovered this magical pairing with our chocolate chip pancakes and now incorporate cinnamon into chocolate recipes whenever it makes sense for an extra layer of warmth and spice.
Of course, no fudgy brownie is complete without a generous scattering of chocolate chips, adding delightful pockets of melted chocolate and extra texture. While pumpkin is often paired with white chocolate or graham crackers, it truly shines when combined with semi-sweet chocolate, as proven by other cherished recipes like our pumpkin bread mini loaves.
Beyond their delicious taste, these Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies are incredibly versatile. With their distinct brown and orange layers, they can easily double as a festive black and orange treat for Halloween parties. And as an alternative to traditional pumpkin pie, they make a fantastic addition to any Thanksgiving potluck, offering a unique and memorable dessert option that everyone will adore. Who could resist these delightful squares of autumn bliss?
