5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs and vanilla. Add the melted chocolate and mix until combined.
6. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
7. Transfer to the pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. To test if your brownies are baked, insert a toothpick. It should come our with a few crumbs attached. Each oven is different so you may need to bake longer.
