There’s something magical about desserts made with pumpkin. Maybe it’s the spices as I feel that way about carrot cake too. These brownies are perfect for a cozy evening, especially with a good cup of vanilla tea.

 Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt, baking powder and ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon each allspice and cloves
• 1 cup chopped, toasted pecans 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x9x2 inch pan

Cream together eggs, butter, sugar, honey, pumpkin and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, ginger, cloves and allspice. Slowly add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, stirring just to combine. Fold in pecans. Pour batter into pan.

Bake about 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack and cool completely in the pan. Spread cool brownies with vanilla frosting, then allow to set. If necessary, chill until set, then cut into bars.

VANILLA FROSTING

Ingredients

• 3 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon cream or milk
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 2-1/2 cups powdered sugar.

Instructions

Cream together ingredients, gradually adding sugar. Add more milk or cream if necessary to bring to easy-mixing consistency.
