Diane's Pumpkin Brownies

¾ c. all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 ¼ stick of butter (melted)
1 ½ c. white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs
¼ c. cocoa powder
½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ c. pumpkin puree
½ c. walnuts (chopped)
¾ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground cloves
½ tsp. nutmeg

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 F and line 8X8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil.  Lightly grease the foil.  In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

2.  In a separate bowl mix together melted butter, sugar, and vanilla.  Beat in the eggs (one at a time). Add the flour mixture, a little at a time and stir until the batter is evenly moistened.  Divide the batter in half evenly into 2 separate bowls.

3.  In one of the bowls blend in cocoa powder and chocolate chips.  In the second bowl of batter stir in pumpkin puree, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

4.  Spread ½ of the chocolate batter mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.  Pour ½ of the pumpkin batter mixture over that.  Repeat the layers, ending with a pumpkin layer.  Drag kitchen knife or spatula through the layers in a swirling motion creating a marble appearance.

5.  Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Cool and cut into squares.
