Pumpkin Brownies – Ranch Malibu

These rich Pumpkin Brownies use either pureed pumpkin or sweet potatoes as a nutritious and moist base, and are sweetened with maple syrup, coconut sugar, and dark chocolate chips.

The Ranch at Live Oak Malibu assists guests in re-calibrating their mind, body and spirit through an intensive week long endurance, wellness and nutrition program. Located three miles above the Pacific Ocean in the Santa Monica Mountains, the 15-cottage retreat is beautifully situated on a large working ranch.    The open-air kitchen at The Ranch makes meal time a communal experience. Guests are encouraged to join the Chef during his weekly cooking class to learn the basic techniques and skills required to create a healthy plate.  These lessons are reinforced when guests return home with regular communication from The Ranch, including seasonal recipes and tips for maintaining results, like this sweet and nutritious treat.
