Vegan Pumpkin Brownies

Vegan Pumpkin Brownies

Lightbulb: brownies, but made with pumpkin instead of eggs. I do look for any excuse to make brownies, but these brownies are perfect. They have a crisp edge, a sunken, fudgy middle and plenty of chocolate flavor. Some savory-sweet halva is the prefect addition to the mix. I made these brownies several times this week and I have been thoroughly enjoying having one as my after-work treat. You will not know that they are vegan. I may or may not have bought a whole new can of pumpkin so I can make them again.
