Pumpkin, choclate ship brownies??? OH YUM! I need a recipe, PLEASE! Looks delicious!
Here's the pumpkin-chocolate chip brownie recipe. Mind you, it's the first time I've made them and I played with the recipe an old high school friend gave me.
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 t. cinammon
1/2 t. mace
1 c. sugar
1 15-oz can pumpkin puree
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. butter, melted
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Pour into a buttered pan and bake at 350 till toothpick comes out clean, about 35minutes.
This is what I did and I would probably change it a bit the next time. I think I'd cut down on the chocolate chips by 1/4 c. It was just too many for my taste. I want to try it with fresh roasted pumpkin to see if that adds to the flavor. I put 1/2 c. less sugar than was called for in a single batch (this was a double batch) so it might not be sweet enough for you, though the chips add to the sweetness. I actually put in 3 eggs because my hens are still laying eggs on the small side, but in retrospect it was a tad too caky for me (I like chewy brownies), so next time I'd do 2 eggs to see if that helped.
In the end, the flavor was good enough that my husband took some to work for a snack - that's a good sign; it means he liked them.
I just harvested my (only 2)Jarrahdale pumpkins yesterday, so in a few weeks I hope to be enjoying this as the fruits of my labor. THANK YOU! WHat a wonderfully timed post for me!
First comment I've posted here. I follow your blog since I also live in South Florida (Dania Beach) and am interested in homesteading in the city. My husband and I have great plans (if not illegal) for when we buy a single family house one day :)
I just had to comment on the pumpkin chocolate chip brownies. Anything with pumpkin and chocolate is a total weakness of mine! Everything looks so good. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting the recipe. I am baking some today. I'll use some of my calabaza squash - we are overrun with our harvest and giving it away! I'll post about it later, if it turns out. Thanks for the inspiration! ;)
Mary, let me know how the brownies turn out and if you changed anything so I can try it.

hehe-Mary I'm in downtown Tampa 5 days a week, If you have that many.... LOL - or even just a few seeds (What your chickens don't get!) I live North into Land O Lakes. :-)
My local extension agent made the comment the other day that instead of using the term xeriscaping we are now using Florida Friendly Landscaping. You can even have your yard certified as Florida Friendly through the County Extension. Perhaps the county government can be enlightened.
