Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a square 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper with coconut oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add pumpkin puree, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Add in spices, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and oat flour. Stir until a thick brownie batter forms. It shouldn't be runny, and that's normal but not overly dry ever. If so, add 2-3 tablespoons of almond milk.
Transfer the batter to the pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle dark chocolate chips all over the top of the pumpkin brownies, if desired.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top crackle and dry out. The center stays moist and sticky if you insert a pick in the middle.
Cool down completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares - about 2 hours.
Storage
Store in the fridge to firm up and enjoy its best texture.
