I wish I had these sitting next to me right now!
Don’t know what to make for dessert tonight? It doesn’t get much easier than this. All you are going to need is a box of your favorite brownie mix and a can of pumpkin! These Easy Pumpkin Brownies are so moist and decadent, they actually turn out more like fudge than a brownie. Drooooooool.
I topped my brownies with a simple butter/powdered sugar frosting. Hey, why not?! You saved a bunch of calories omitting all the usual oil 😉
Two Ingredient Easy Pumpkin Brownies
- 1 (19.5 ounce) box brownie mix
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together brownie mix and pumpkin until combined and smooth.
- Pour batter into your pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Diana says
Umm, I have those ingredients!!!! Guess what I’m making today??? 🙂
Peggy says
Just made these, but added half a teaspoon cayenne pepper. Always add this pepper to chocolate..
Kelly Lester of EasyLunchboxes says
I am pretty sure not even I could mess this one up. Pumpkin AND chocolate? I might have to die and go to heaven.
Maria says
My family loves these! Don’t add the ingredients on the box-instructions. Also, I tried in a 9×9–the brownies turned out too gooey. The 9×13 gives the right texture because of a thinner layer. I use the Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate–fewer chemicals listed in the ingredients-list. Delicious!
myra says
Can I use a 21.2oz family box of brownies??? Or will I mess up the dessert
Corey says
I have only made these as I wrote the recipe Myra. Has anyone else used a family sized box?
Kristi says
What is the glaze on top?
Corey says
See the link in the post for the butter/powdered sugar frosting 🙂 Delish!
Kristi says
Thanks so much!
maria says
came out super moist.. Added one banana, mini chocolate chips . Next time adding walnuts.
Heather says
I LOVE brownies & LOVE almost anything pumpkin, but these were the worst brownies I’ve ever had! We threw them out because no one in our house liked them. I was so disappointed. Such a waste of a good brownie mix & can of pumpkin. 🙁
Corey says
I am so sorry you did not like these Heather. Thanks for giving them a try!
Michele says
I agree Heather, they were fairly revolting…. I’m glad we used the no name brownie mix to try them out 😉
Corey says
Sorry you didn’t like them Michele. They def do taste different than regular brownies, so you need to keep that in mind when going into this 🙂
Jen says
I was skeptical at first bite, but I think the frosting and sprinkles made them super yummy. My husband loved them and he claims not to like sweets. I was disappointed he ate the last one. I dreamt about it at work all day.
Samantha says
There’s not enough pumpkin. Maybe the organic is different but I just used Libby’s and the mix was so dry that the batter got over mixed. The flavor was ok but they were very rubbery. I don’t think we will b making these again. Good idea just not what I hoped for
Tish says
Anything this easy cannot be good. Unfortunately this is true. 🙁
Tracy says
Has anyone ever tried this with gluten free brownie mix? Just curious.
Allie says
I thought these tasted good! I would’ve liked them to rise a little bit, but other than that they’re great. Have you tried this recipe but subbing a box of spice cake mix for the brownie mix? Heavenly! I make them into muffins and bake with the same directions as above. 🙂
Michelle says
Tried it…didn’t like the taste at all. Blecchh!! It may have been the canned pumpkin, but this recipe definitely needs nutmeg, cinnamon and cayenne pepper as Peggy suggests. I’ll try it again this way.
Maia says
When I made these, I added nutmeg and cinnamon. They were delicious!
Sarah says
These pumpkin chocolate brownies just came out of the oven. I used the same Farmers Market Organic brand pumpkin, but (inadvertently) chose the Pumpkin Pie Mix variety with some sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice included in the canned pumpkin. Added a dash of cayenne to a triple chocolate brownie mix (with chocolate chunks and chips). Turned out nice with the spices and pumpkin flavor – and so easy. Perfect for fall.
Nicole says
Made these. They were pretty tasty. Tasted a lot of pumpkin though. Might slack off on the pumpkin spice next time and add a little less than a 1/2 teaspoon with some chocolate chips to bring more of the chocolate flavor out. I’ll be making these for the Halloween party in band class.
Corey says
Great idea to add the chips Nicole!
Sheila says
These are super moist….more like a soft fudge then a brownie. We love them and fool ourselves thinking they’re healthier….lol
Kristie says
Wanting to try these. But want to make sure what’s best first. Do I need to get the Easy Pumpkin pie mix or just regular pumpkin. And the boxes in the store were only 18.4, 18.9 or 16 oz boxes. So I got the biggest one they had. Hope that little bit won’t make a huge difference.
Michelle Cannon says
These look A-MAZING.
Emily Copeland says
Adding a box of brownie mix and a can of pumpkin to my grocery list… Can’t wait to try these!
Crystal says
Just made these, before reading reviews. Baked in an 8×8 and yes they were super gooey (and YUMMY!). I used a box of Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate and a can of organic pureed. Super easy and while you can slightly taste the pumpkin, I was good with the chocolate flavor.
I will definitely have to try them in a 13×9 next time… Still not complaining of the yumminess.
Monica says
While I didn’t use the specific measurements of this recipe (used 1 box of brownie mix and then 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree), it does taste good. My only recommendation is that if the taste of pumpkin in the recipe bugs you, stick them in the fridge for a couple hours. Practically removes the pumpkin aftertaste and you’re left with a super fudge-y and lean chocolate brownie!
Veronica says
Question. I just baked these wonderful brownies and wanted to ask do I have to refrigerate them?
Corey says
Yes, I would refrigerate these Veronica.
Darla L says
I made these and the taste was fine but they came out rubbery. What would cause this?
