Rubbery and gummy. I followed instructions to a T. They were very easy to make. Disappointing though. My mom, a centenarian, ate some and liked them, which is all that mattered really.

Sorry to hear the results weren’t to your liking. What mix did you use? We’ve had good results with Ghirardelli mix, but it’s possible the mix you used was intended for a different pan size or quantity, which could affect the baking time. Since sweetener isn’t typically an added ingredient to brownie mix, using pumpkin puree in place of eggs/oil should not have an affect on the sweetness.

Warning: Don’t try this! I did with a different mix (but with only pumpkin puree as said), and it not only took WAY longer vut the result wasn’t tasty at all. The “brownies” were gummy, and less sweet than when I baked with the same mix the normal way.

Hey MaryAnn great idea! Thanks for following along, i’m happy it worked!

These were surprisingly good! I tasted them right after I made them and didn’t like them much–were kind of gummy. But I didn’t want to waste the whole batch, so I set them aside and tasted them the next day. Wow–much better! I would recommend people let them sit if possible because the texture does get better! Next time I might add some spices for more fall flavor.

Hey Carissa, thank you so much! I’m excited for you to try it out.
