The brownie texture you love with the pumpkin flavor you crave…these are a fall delight and pair perfectly with a cream cheese frosting on top!
This recipe begins how all the good ones do. I was craving a brownie, but I needed some more pumpkin in my life, and then it dawned on me: pumpkin brownies. Voila, turns out that I was on to something special. You can do a lot with this recipe: add powdered sugar on top, mix in a chocolate batter with it if you prefer for a marbled effect, or use a cream cheese icing like I did.
