We’ve had a lonely can of pumpkin puree in our pantry for a year now and I finally found the perfect use for it in this recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownies (originally from Pennies on a Platter.) I kept the recipe the same for the most part, except I left out the cocoa powder (didn’t have any on hand) and doubled the amount of chocolate chips (just because.) This recipe was super simple and turned out to be a crave-worthy dessert that is officially a part of our permanent recipe collection. Bonus: Our apartment smelled like Fall all morning after baking these.
