Pumpkin Brownies

How in the world is it already October 8th? Halloween is right around the corner and it’s feeling like fall here in South Carolina today. High of 62°F! Crazy. It was 90°F yesterday, where we were sweating at the beach.

Well, the weather has pushed me to start my fall baking. Yay!

When I saw these 2 ingredient pumpkin brownies on pinterest, I knew I had to give them a try. It was one of those too-good-to-be-true recipes that you’re skeptical about until you try them and they are great!

They literally took me more time to mix together than the oven had time to heat up. I’m always waiting on the oven. What, what! So fast.

Anyway, they are chewy and fudgy, with absolutely no hint of pumpkin. You can always bump up the pumpkin flavor by adding some pumpkin spice, but I’m just fine getting some veggies (Is pumpkin a vegetable?) in my brownies. I’ve loved making brownies out of black beans and zucchini. So tasty!

So, give these a try! I betcha that you have these ingredients already in your pantry! ;D

  8. Can’t wait to try these…I love sneaky desserts! I have all the ingredients on hand so I might make them for dessert tonight :)

    I’m so excited about Fall, even though in Hawaii, we aren’t going to get that nice fall weather. It’s the first year that my daughter is really excited about Halloween…we just picked out her costume and we’re going to a pumpkin patch this weekend! I definitely think that once you have kids, the holidays become extra special :)

  11. Yum! I’ve been itching to try these, too. :)

  12. Tracey says:

    I’ve never seen these before, but wow do yours look amazing!! And you seriously cannot beat the simplicity of two ingredients :)

  13. Maria says:

    Yum! Quick question, but at what stage do you add the chocolate chips? Before baking? On top or mixed in?

  14. DaughterOfSnape says:

    Just to clarify before I make these: I don’t add the eggs and oil? I just take the box of brownie mix, open it, pour it in the bowl, and add pumpkin to it? Or do I add the ingredients that the brownie mix calls for, plus the pumpkin?

      All you do is just mix the dry boxed brownie mix with the pumpkin puree. No other ingredients. Easy peasy! :D Happy Baking!

  17. Rita says:

    I made this for my work and my hubby’s work – and it was a big hit! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

  18. Crystal says:

    Does anyone know the total dry measurement (# cups) in an 18.9 oz Brownie Mix? (ie if you dumped the whole mix into a large measuring cup, what would it measure?)
    I’m experimenting with a Gluten-free version from scratch, and this info would help out. Thanks!!

    I love fudgy brownies! The pic looks awesome, & love your blog.

    I love pumpkin and I love brownies but I did not like these at all :( the consistency was weird and spongy. They didnt taste like brownies or pumpkin. My fiancé didn’t like them either.

    • caroline says:

      I’m so sorry you didn’t like them, Amy. The consistency is definitely different. I’d compare them more to a mousse/fudge than brownies. But, if you ask me, they are perfect for a quick chocolate fix when you don’t have a lot of time to mess in the kitchen! :D
