Pumpkin Brownies with pecans

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground allspice
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 2/3 cup chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in spices, salt, the egg and the pumpkin puree. Sift flour into the bowl and stir it in, mixing until just combined. Add in pecans and stir to evenly distribute the nuts.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the brownies are just just lightly browned at the edges and the center is set (it may look moist, but will not be sticky when lightly pressed). Cool in the pan before slicing.

Makes 20 bars.
