I thought you might want to start the fall season off right with some moist mouth watering Pumpkin Brownies. I know there are a lot or pumpkin recipes out there. But this recipe for Pumpkin Brownies is one that you don’t want to miss out on.

These brownies are so incredibly moist. They can even hold their own with out a frosting on top. I am pretty confident that once you try them, you will be making them again and again.

With love from my kitchen to yours,
