CAN YOU ADD PUMPKIN TO BOXED BROWNIES? If you want to use a box mix for this recipe, simply omit the brownie ingredients and follow the directions on the batters associated box.

If you want to be sure you are dividing it evenly, measure with your measuring cup when dividing into two bowls. These brownies have a touch of cayenne. My kids don’t even notice it. You could omit the spice if you’d like. If it is for adults, you could add a touch more to intensify the flavor a little.
