Pumpkin Brownies

Written on 08/29/2025


Ingredients:

4 large eggs

2 cups sugar

1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

For the Frosting:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup butter, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until fully combined.

Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.

Spread the batter evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.

Bake for 25–30 minutes. Start checking at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, they’re done. Be careful not to overbake.

Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting:

Beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.

Spread evenly over the cooled brownies.

Tip: These moist, spiced brownies are a perfect fall treat—rich on their own, but irresistible with cream cheese frosting!
