I love brownies, really anything chocolate. I found this great recipe on pinterest for pumpkin brownies only two ingredients! Plus, only 138 calories a serving.

Ingredients:
1 Family size box of reduced fat brownie mix
1 (15oz) can of pumpkin

Bake as instructed on the box.

They turn out moist and fudgy!

Makes 18 brownies!

Anyone else have any low calorie chocolate recipes?

    So, what do you do? Mix the pumpkin in with the brownie mix just before baking? Sounds really good.. Will have to try this. :) Thanks for sharing!

    Does it taste like pumpkin though? I like my pumpkin spicy and my brownies chocolatey.

    I don't think you can taste the pumpkin at all as the chocolate flavor is pretty strong - in both brownie mix and chocolate cake mix. You can also mix canned pumpkin with spice cake mix if you like the spicy better.

    You just taste a hint of pumpkin, unfortunately.

    Nope! No eggs, no oil, no water! Just pumpkin and brownie mix!

    I mix my can of pumpkin with Duncan Hines Classic Dark Chocolate cake mix, and put it in muffin tins. My husband says it tastes like chocolate cake/brownies to him. I can't personally taste the pumpkin in it. My step-son, who would never in a million years knowingly have consumed this if he knew there was pumpkin in it, happily ate all of his. Although my husband and I had to smile at each other when he said, "There is something in here. I can't quite figure out what..."

    Maybe you could try and make a pumpkin frosting and frost the brownies.


    Pumpkin and chocolate sounds like an odd combo though. I might have to try it.

    I'm sure they're excellent. Some of the best cupcakes I ever had were made from substituting something in the recipe with pumpkin.. I have vegan family friends that make them that way. They were amazing. :)

    I guess the pumpkin takes up the consistency you would need from adding the eggs etc. I use apple sauce instead of butter when I'm trying to make things healthier - it's a similar type of substitution.

    They are really good. They are more of a fudge brownie then a cake brownie though. Which I didn't mind at all.

    I finally made these over the weekend, and they were REALLY good. The consistency didn't seem brownie-ish (I had a really big can of pumpkin and just kept scooping it into the dry brownie mix - so may have used a little too much...but it still tasted great! Especially with a big 'ol blob of fat free cool whip on top:) I could taste the pumpkin in it, it reminded me of a chocolately pumpkin pie...will definitely make them again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
