pumpkin brownies

Dessert should always include chocolate, but I wanted to make something festive and fall-ish…so I just combined the two. I made a very basic brownie recipe and just added a layer of pumpkin in the middle. This is the perfect thanksgiving dessert recipe, especially if you are looking for an alternative to pie.

Warning: this makes a TON of brownies…you can easily half the recipe and make it in an 8×8 pan.
