Macadamia Nut Pumpkin Brownies

Macadamia Nut Pumpkin BrowniesIt’s time to bring pumpkin and chocolate together with these macadamia nut pumpkin brownies. I mean, is it really even fall if you don’t make some sort of treat with actual pumpkin (not just the pie spices)? I think it’s a must, friends.

Maybe I had Hawaii on my mind (I’ll still be there when this post goes up) when I made this recipe because I don’t typically think of pairing macadamia nuts with pumpkin. Granted, macadamia nuts are amazing and pair just fine, but I usually resort to pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts in the fall for baked goods. What can I say though? I like to shake things up sometimes and yes, Hawaii subconsciously had an impact. But, know that you can totally use whatever nut you like!

Anyway, these macadamia nut pumpkin brownies are everything I want in a brownie:

  • chocolatey
  • not too sweet, but sweet enough
  • nutty
  • ultra moist
  • decadent
  • satisfying

Also, you may notice that I did not put pumpkin pie spice of any sorts in this recipe, but if you want to warm up the flavors and make it even more fall-themed, I imagine it would taste wonderful.

If you’re looking for another variation of a pumpkin brownie to try, check out my “peanut butter” pumpkin brownies as well.

Cheers and enjoy!
