Pumpkin Swirl Brownie Bites

September 26, 2010 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 24 Comments

Pumpkin Swirl Brownie Bites ~ Forget portion control when it comes to these brownie bites. These chocolaty brownies with the pumpkin cream cheese swirl will have you popping one after another.

Pumpkin Swirl Brownie Bites

Fall is here and I’m pumpkin crazy. This year, I don’t know if it’s made worse by the fact that I have a blog and want to share and chronicle all my pumpkin recipes or it’s the shortage that has me rushing to make as many things as I can.

Either way or either excuse, I’m happy to say I got the last three cans of pumpkin puree on the shelf. That means next up is Pumpkin Pie Bars with my secret ingredient. But don’t worry, I promise to sprinkle a few other recipes in before I hit those.

A few notes:

  • I used pastry bags to dispense the brownie mix and pumpkin mix to minimize the mess and for ease. If you don’t have pastry bags, use a Ziploc or a spoon.
  • For an alternative to the swirl topping, try drizzling top with caramel or butterscotch sauce once the brownie bites are done baking or sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the pumpkin layer prior to baking.
  • Keep Pumpkin Swirl Brownie Bites covered and refrigerated to maintain freshness for up to 3-5 days.

    This recipe seems awesome. How much pumpkin did you add in the pumpkin swirl part? It doesn’t appear in the ingredients list…

    I’ll be honest, I say the more pumpkin the better. I can control myself around brownies but anything pumpkin? There’s just no way. these look amazing! At least if they’re bite sized it means if I eat three it’s not as bad as if they were whole brownies. Right?

    This sounds delicious. I just picked up 3 cans of puree for my mom – she can’t find it in any town near her. Yikes!

    Portion control and the beauties do not belong in the same picture. These look dangerously delicious!

    Wow, these little sweeties look amazing. I would love to grab one right out of the picture and stuff it into my mouth 🙂
    Me and hubby bought pumkin on saturday and I am going to make puree out of them – and these brownies are definetely going to be the first things made out of it.
    I just guess that I have never seen pumpkin pie spices around here in germany. Need to put in single spices, I think.
    Well, have a nice day and thanks for sharing so many lovely recipes with us 🙂
    I just can´t take my eyes off this picture.. need one of those bites.. neeeeedddddd….

    I think I might have to make these. I’m adding them to my pumpkin recipe roundup I posted yesterday for National Pumpkin Day! 🙂

    These look delicious! I have never made pumpkin pie before, though, so would you mind being a little more specific on what the “pumpkin pie spices” are?

    Hi Robin,

    Pumpkin Pie Spice is actually already assembled and you can buy it in the spice section of your grocery store.

    Oh, that’s super convenient. Thanks! 🙂

    Do you think this recipe would be okay in a square cake pan instead of a mini muffin pan? I’d like to cut these into bars..

  20. Naomi says

    November 19, 2010 at 7:22 am

    Hi Kathy,

    The recipe will work just fine in a square pan, just make sure to increase the bake time to about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted int the center ccomes out clean.

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag. 
• Must follow @MortonSalt on IG to participate. Good luck!
