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!

    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.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
