Squash Brownies

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup squash puree

• 2 egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2/3 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 cup chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease an 8-inch square or 7x11-inch pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.

• In a large mixing bowl combine the puree, eggs, and vanilla.

• In a second bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.

• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold gently just until combined. Do not overmix.

• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until baked through. Brownies baked in the 7x11-inch pan will be done in a shorter cooking time than the 8-inch square.

• Cool on a rack before cutting into squares and serving.
