Instructions:

🥣 1. Prep Your Pan & Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.

🍯 2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
Whisk nut butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

🌾 3. Add the Dry Ingredients:

Dollop spoonfuls of plain and pumpkin cheesecake mixtures alternately over the brownie base. Swirl gently with a knife, chopstick, or toothpick.

🔥 6. Bake:
Bake 25-30 minutes, until set but still fudgy in the center. Cool completely, then chill before slicing for clean edges.

✨ 7. Serve & Enjoy:
Slice and enjoy plain, or get fancy with a drizzle of maple syrup or chocolate chips!

Tips & Variations:

• For extra fudginess: Slightly underbake and chill completely before slicing.
• Make it vegan: Use a plant-based cream cheese and flax eggs.
