Fall and chocolate. Two things that make you feel cozy, brought together.
Chocolate is the perfect ingredient for comfort food (and drinks) + fall means you get to wrap yourself up in a soft blanket, drink a hot cup of coffee, use your fireplace (if you have one), and watch a movie.
The two just work together. You need it. I need it. It’s essential.
And if you too take your seasons and desserts seriously, then I hope you enjoy these ideas for incredible-looking autumn brownie flavors. 👌
1. Pumpkin Brownies – The (Tasty) Essential for Fall
I’d be weird if I didn’t include pumpkin brownies, so I’m adding them and putting them right up at the top.
They’re the obvious essential for this list, and they honestly look (and sound) pretty good.
GET THE RECIPE2. Apple Blondies – Self-Explanatory
There are two camps here:
Camp 1: You actually go out and do apple picking as a fun activity during the fall.
Camp 2: You see Camp 1 doing this activity on Instagram or Tiktok, think it looks cool, but then get too lazy to do it yourself (I am Camp 2).
Either way, I think we both know that apples are an amazing autumnal ingredient, so I’m putting it on the list.
Also… these just look way too so good.
GET THE RECIPE3. Salted Caramel Brownies – An Autumnal Classic
I feel like salted caramel is a bit of a fall classic. Also, I just trust Pinch of Yum to make an exceptional brownie recipe, so here it is on the list. 👍
GET THE RECIPE4. Espresso Brownies – For That Fall Coffee House Feel
You and I both need our fall moment where we feel like some Instagram influencer with an oversized knitted cardigan, sitting in some quiet big city coffee house, cradling a Pinterest-perfect coffee mug, filled with single-origin coffee that costs $20.
That’s what I feel like these fall themed brownies would taste like. A perfectly nice unrealistic fall coffee house moment. And I need them.
GET THE RECIPE5. Brown Butter Pumpkin Blondies With Cream Cheese Frosting – No More Description Needed
They’re brown butter pumpkin blondies with cream cheese frosting.
They’re the kind of dessert you make all for yourself on a cold fall evening, and eat half of them in one sitting as you watch a movie.
That’s it. I’ve called your weekend. This is exactly what you’re doing.
GET THE RECIPE6. S’Mores Brownies – To Share With Friends at a Bonfire Party
Maybe bonfires and s’mores are more of a me thing for the fall, but I honestly think a warming fire with chocolate works great for the season.
So here’s a s’mores brownie recipe if you think it’s a fall thing too.
GET THE RECIPE7. Biscoff Brownies – For That Fall Cinnamon Flavor
When you mix chocolatey goodness with Biscoff, I think you’ve probably found one of the most perfect fall brownie recipes.
Also, you get this nice cinnamon flavor which is always great for those Autumn feels. And honestly, they seem like the perfect brownies to pair with a hot cup of overly creamy coffee.
Side Note: This Biscoff brownie recipe is vegan (here’s a non-vegan recipe), but I went through it and there are no expensive/complicated ingredients. So you might want to give it a try!
8. Dark Pumpkin Brownies – The Kind You Bring to a Halloween Party
If you wanna feel like one of those Pinterest bloggers who uses those pretty/fancy sprinkles, but you also want something fun to bring to a Halloween party, then here’s your answer.
This is the brownie recipe you’ve been looking for.
GET THE RECIPE9. Turtle Brownies – Great for When You Want That Halloween Sugar Rush as an Adult
In general, this just looks like a good fall dessert, but it’s also the kind of brownie recipe you make when you’re jealous of the kids with the overly stuffed bags of candy.
You get to have candy too… just in a more grown-up satisfying tasty baked-goodness way.
GET THE RECIPE10. Bourbon Pecan Pie Brownies – The Worthy Pecan Pie Substitute for Thanksgiving
This is for when you’re either…
A. Hosting Thanksgiving
B. Attending someone else’s Thanksgiving gathering
… and you wanna feel a little bit like Martha Stewart.
You don’t want to just go with the normal pecan pie; you wanna be extra.
Well this is your moment, and here’s the recipe you need for that moment.
11. Matcha Brownies – For When You’re Feelin’ a Lil Spooky
It’s green. I associate green colored desserts with Halloween… or Sr. Patrick’s Day.
Either way though, they look amazing, and if you need a colorful dessert for the spooky season, then this is perfect.👌
Side Note: They also give a bit of a fall coffee house feeling too, so doesn’t necessarily need to be for Halloween. 🤷♀️
GET THE RECIPE12. Brown Butter Brownies – The Name & Ingredients Just Feel Autumnal
And last but not least, this is one of those “just because” fall brownie ideas.
The kind you pull out for when it’s a cloudy cold day, and you want something comforting and delicious.
Something that has a nice buttery deep dark chocolatey espresso flavor that makes you feel good inside.
GET THE RECIPEWhether it’s a weekday or the weekend, I hope one (or more) of these recipes made your home smell amazing!
