Flourless Pumpkin Brownies (aka Lava Brownies)
These pumpkin bars are the perfect baked recipe because they are fluffy, chocolatey and delicious.
We love to make these every fall because they are the ideal segue into the autumn season. I still can’t believe summer is coming to a close but this recipe is a great way to jump into fall. These are an amazing back to school snack the kids will LOVE. It all happens in one bowl and in one step. You can’t beat that! Please remember to let them cool completely prior to slicing.

These look delicious. Is the nutritional value for the entire batch?
HI Erin, nutrtional value is for one piece of divided 9 slices. You can also cut them into smaller pieces which will lessen the calories, etc.
I would like them a tad sweeter . And I definitely baked them about 45 min . Overall pretty good !

Loved how simple they are to make about to try!!! OMG these are so good I just tried them and they are one of the best healthier brownies I’ve had
Hi Morgan, thanks so much for giving them a try! I’m so glad they worked out for you!
Mine turned out more like chocolate cake. Still delicious!
I have made MANY of the alternative brownies without flour and these are by FAR the best! They are amazingly delicious! Cannot taste the pumpkin at all. Thank you for this great recipe!
Hi Tina, glad the recipe was a such a winner for you! Thanks for trying it out and your kind rating!
Hi Stella
Is the calorie count per square
Of brownie
Hi! glad to have come across your channel. Can we use homemade peanut butter for this? the last peanut butter I made turned out a bit dry.
Hi Mary, welcome! I used peanut butter where the only ingredient is peanuts. Its texture is smooth and creamy. Hope this helps!
So tasty and healthy! Made them for friends and they all went back for seconds.
Hi Christine, glad you liked the brownies and thanks for the kind rating!
Hello Stella, Can I substitute mashed avocado for the pumkin?
Hi Janet, I haven’t tried that but it could work….
they turned out amazing. took away my chocolate craving without feeling yucky the next day. all my coworkers loved them as well, some didn’t even realize it had no flour!
how can we convert cups to grams?
I went ahead and made these with PBfit and sugar free syrup to fit my macros better and….YUM!!! I love this recipe!!! the texture is incredible. I’m obsessed. thank you!
Love your site…. Question, do you add the chocolate chips on top before baking? The way the brownies looks, it appears that way, Thank you for all of your recipes….
Hi Lyn, so sorry for the late reply! YES, i add before i bake!
With the maple syrup in there, I was able to fully combine the recipe only using my whisk, which was AWESOME. I enjoyed the fun little wobble as I set them out to cool; they’re so fluffy! I’m definitely making these again.
