Method

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/ 176 ºC and line a baking tin with baking paper.

3. Combine buckwheat flour ( or any gluten free flour), baking powder, cacao and salt in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.

4. Mix coconut sugar, milk, vanilla, melted chocolate & flax eggs into a bowl and combine until smooth. Slowly add mixture to dry ingredients while folding with a spatula. Combine until you get a smooth mixture.

5. Add mixture to your tin and srt aside, continue to prepare your pumpkin swirl by mixing all ingredients in a bowl until smooth and completely combined.

6. Add pumpkin mixture on top of your brownie mixture by using a spoon. Place doll pops of the pumpkin mixture randomly on top of the brownie mix. Grab a tooth pick and gently swirl mixture around combining brownie and pumpkin mix to create a "marble" effect.

7. Bake for 30 min or until a tooth pick comes out clean when pinching the middle of the brownie. Remove from oven and allow to chill for 15 - 20 min before removing from your baking tin.
