i am here to share this healthy brownie recipe that is BEYOND fudgy and dare i say a chocolate-lover’s dream! this recipe is perfect to start incorporating a favorite, fall flavor into our lives…pumpkin! have you ever realized how versatile canned pumpkin is? i didn’t realize it until making this recipe and now i keep thinking about what else i can use pumpkin to make. it is fall now after all!

in this recipe, the pumpkin acts as an alternative to the eggs and part of the oil that would typically be needed in a brownie batter. and guess what, it doesn’t stop there! what does everyone look for in the perfect brownie recipe? is it the rich chocolate, fudgy texture or all of the above? the canned pumpkin plays a huge role in making these vegan pumpkin brownies fudgy and delicious. and too be honest, if i’m going to eat brownies they must be decadent with a rich, chocolate flavor and most importantly, have the ULTIMATE fudge factor.

this recipe hits both of these and absolutely no disappointment. this leads me to the question, what can’t pumpkin do?

the only thing pumpkin can’t do in this recipe is make these beauties for you. but that’s okay! this recipe is so easy to follow, using simple ingredients and no fuss in the kitchen.

whether you have a fall get together with family and friends coming up or just want to do some fall baking for yourself at home, these vegan pumpkin brownies are just what you need.
