Pumpkin Spice Brownies
We are officially in the Pumpkin EVERYTHING season and I’m already celebrating! I just made these Pumpkin Spice Brownies a couple of days ago and we are already down to having only one left! These are NOT from a box, they are homemade, delicious and I have a secret ingredient. I try to substitute other ingredients in place of oil or butter when I can. This just happens to be one of those recipes where I can and it works out great! My secret ingredient for these fluffy, yummy brownies?? It’s Yoplait light Pumpkin Pie yogurt! Using yogurt instead of oil or butter will make them really moist and melt in your mouth delicious. It also helps cut some of the fat out of the recipe. This is part of their seasonal edition and I literally had to fight my kids off of it once we got home. You can find it at Walmart (which is where we purchased ours) and it won’t break the bank. I also noticed they had boxes of it which were half vanilla, half pumpkin pie flavor. This is the yogurt I used in this recipe.
Now let’s get to the Pumpkin Spice Brownies! Even though they are homemade, they are super easy to make and use regular, every day ingredients. The pumpkin pie flavor, just gives it that extra kick of flavor that you will love!
