Ingredients for Pumpkin Brownies:

Spray a 8×8 baking dish with non stick spray or lined with parchment paper.
To a medium sized bowl add in the brownie mix, water, oil, and egg mix until well combined.
To a separate bowl add in the pumpkin, cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar whisk until smooth.
Pour half of the brownie mixture into the baking dish spread it out.
Spread the pumpkin batter over the brownie batter.
Spread the remaining brownie batter over the pumpkin layer.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center is cooked through.

Tips and tricks for making the best brownies:
Can I use pumpkin pie filling:
When making this recipe I like to use a can of pumpkin puree, not the pumpkin pie filling as it has more than just pumpkin and that is what you are looking for with this brownie recipe.
What type of boxed brownie mix to use:
You can truly use whichever brownie mix you like to use. I also tend to enjoy throwing some chocolate chips into the brownie batter for an added texture.
