Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies


I'm not sure why but I have been longing for fall treats lately. Not only the tastes of fall but the scents. Pumpkin and spices warm from the oven..maybe it's our weather. Our cottage seems to be shrouded in clouds or marine layer daily, while my daughter who lives 10 miles away is enjoying then sun. It's almost as if we have are living in different seasons!

If you love pumpkin, chocolate, or brownies you will enjoy this recipe. Why wait until fall? Bake yourself a batch today!

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking Cocoa
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
