pumpkin fudge brownies

this simple recipe uses canned pumpkin in the place of vegetable oil and eggs for making brownies. you can use low calorie brownie mix and peanut butter to make this even healthier. 
the consistency is fudge-like but soo good!  


you will need:
1 box of brownie mix [your choice!]
2-4 tablespoons of peanut butter [also your choice, i prefer the Peter Pan honey roast creamy]
15-ounces canned pure pumpkin [for some reason i always buy the 20-something ounce can and use about half]


get a large bowl and put the brownie mix in




then the pumpkin...


stir together until blended


pour the mixture into a baking pan, i used an 8x8 glass dish.  use a little butter to grease the inside of the dish to help with sticking.


now the good stuff..


put a few spoonfuls onto the mix, you can do however much you like


swirl it around..  bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 30-45 minutes.  i can tell when its done by putting a knife in the middle and it comes out nearly clean.  and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the dish.


i usually let mine chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving. they are even better the next day.

 store leftovers in refrigerator!
