Why Put Pumpkin in Brownies

I hadn’t either. But then as I was trying to think of a few fall recipes, this healthy brownie recipe came to mind. I already know what you may be thinking.

But guess what? You can hardly taste the pumpkin (if at all). The real benefit to adding pumpkin puree to these brownies are the nutritional benefits.

Pumpkins are packed with vitamin A and filled with fiber. At the same time, you can turn to these brownies if you’re in search of a guilt-free chocolate fix.

If you have leftover canned pumpkin pix mix, you can use it. But, we sure to omit the maple syrup in this recipe.

For Fudgy Pumpkin Brownies

If you prefer a fudgier consistency to your brownies, I’ve found that mixing in the chocolate chips into the brownie batter versus sprinkling them on top, will result in a fudgier product. It just depends on what your preference is.
