Preheat oven to 350 degrees .
In a mixing bowl, stir the butternut squash puree, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla until combined.
Fold in the unsweetened cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking soda.
Line a baking dish with parchment paper, and spread with cooking spray. Pour in the brownie batter and spread evenly with a spatula.
I used a 9x5 pan. Top the brownies with the dark chocolate chunks (or walnuts!) and bake for 50-55 minutes.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into them.
