- flour – The star of the show, we only used all-purpose flour here because we wanted this recipe to be as accessible as possible for everyone.
- cocoa powder – You want to use an unsweetened cocoa powder here.

- baking powder – this helps with rising
- pumpkin pie spice – pumpkin pie spice is a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger
- salt – this helps bring out the flavor of the other ingredients
- pumpkin puree – this is just pureed pumpkin. Do not confuse this with pumpkin pie mix which already has spices added to it
