Pumpkin Brownie {Dessert}

December 20, 2012 - 2 comments

Hi, everybody!

Yes, I'm still here! Just enjoying the time I have with my kiddos.

Before you know it Christmas break will be over!

I hope you all are enjoying this wonderful time of year!

Today, I'm going to share a family recipe that I have been making for

over 20 years. It's a holiday favorite and a must have at our

Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

Pumpkin Brownies! Yum!

These aren't your typical brownies, there is NO chocolate in these.

And to be honest with you, I have no idea where the "brownie" part of the name came from. They are really more like a pumpkin bar, but

Pumpkin Brownies is what we've always called them.

They are so EASY, moist and delicious!

Here is the recipe:

Pumpkin Brownies

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Crust:

1 pkg. yellow cake mix (save 1c. for the topping)

1 stick of margarine or butter (melted)

1 egg

Mix and spread into a 9x13 pan.

Filling:

2 eggs beaten

1 (16oz.) can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 sm.(5oz.) can evaporated milk

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground clove

Mix and pour over crust.

Topping:

1 cup cake mix (left from crust)

1 stick of margarine or butter, cold and sliced

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Crumble with pastry blender and sprinkle on top of filling.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

YUMMY!

Here is the recipe all together.
