Happy 1st Day of Fall!
You know what this means, right?
Pumpkin overload {and I love it}!
The cool weather hasn’t made it here in Louisiana yet, but I am so ready for cooler temps, pumpkin patches, hay rides, hot chocolate, cute boots and lots of fall pumpkin recipes!
I thought I would start off the season with this easy Pumpkin Brownie recipe. It is only 2 ingredients: boxed brownie or cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree! So by skipping the oil, butter, eggs, etc and just using pumpkin, you are cutting the fat and calories and the brownies still taste
Ah-mazing and are decadently moist and gooey!
2 Ingredient Pumpkin Brownies
Ingredients
- 14 oz can pumpkin puree
- 1 Box of chocolate cake or brownie mix {I used Devil's Food}

I tried this with a brownie mix, but got a horrible, rubbery texture! Did you ever have success with a brownie mix? If so, what one?
You baked it too long is my bet. I've tried it with many different types of brownie mix and have loved it. I also like to add a tsp or so baking powder just and some chocolate chips.
Do these not need a sweetener, does the box mis contain some? Curious because normally pumpkin recipes need a sweetener because it's so bland on it's own. XD
No sweetener needed. The cake mix includes it.
How many servings does this make?
Depending on the size it makes 9-12 brownies.
Why is it that whenever I look up a weight watchers recipe, most of the time it doesn’t tell the points? I can’t find the points any where for these brownies.
Sorry, I did not claim this was a Weight Watchers recipe.
Do you know the calories per serving?
No, but since it is only 2 ingredients you could easily add the calories from the brownie mix box and the canned pumpkin. Hope you enjoy!
I’ve done this so many times in the muffin cups but this time I wanted to try it in a sheet. Although my kids loved it, it was definitely too crumbly. So didn’t look too nice. Any thoughts? I was thinking I might try adding a faux egg; chia seed and water mixture
Wow! I have never had it turn out crumbly. I usually bake in a glass baking dish for 16 minutes and it turns out great. Let me know if you try your faux egg and if it makes it any better.
Made these today and they turned out delicious! I used an 8×8 glass dish, added some chocolate chips to the recipe, and served with frozen nonfat cool whip on top! Super good!
