- Take fudgy brownies out of the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before cutting them into pieces.

Tips & hacks for the recipe
*Turn on the oven beforehand to have a temperature at 180C (or 356F) when you put fudgy brownies inside. If you put them in an oven that is not heated to this temperature, they could take longer or not reach the desired structure.
*I used brown almond butter and would definitely recommend it.
*To prepare pumpkin puree you can take 140 g frozen pumpkin pieces or fresh pumpkin cut into pieces. Put it into a covered pot, add 50 g water, cook for around 10-15 minutes for frozen pumpkin pieces and 20 minutes for fresh pumpkin pieces. Cook on a low heat and mix eventually. When pumpkin pieces are soft, transform into a blender and blend everything together. Your pumpkin puree should have no pieces inside. Check my video for pumpkin puree consistency.
*Your cake will look still raw the moment you take it out of the oven. If you wait too long it will be to caky and not soft and fudge like brownies. Do not ovebake it!
