I’m always looking for easy and delicious Fall treats for my kids to enjoy so when I saw Healthy Pumpkin Brownies somewhere on Pinterest I thought “what could be better?” Well, you know what is better? Double layer frosted pumpkin brownies.
Because frosting is everything, right? These turned out so yummy. Now, because I’m a glutton (and I’m serving a hundred kids in this house) I made 2 boxes of brownies and layered them.
But for normal people with normal sized families I would recommend following the recipe below. Your thighs will thank you. Mine are angry.

Don’t they look decadent? My kids loved them. Despite making a double batch they were gone in an hour! I’m feeding animals, I tell ya.
These were perfect for my kid who has issues with eggs because of the simple ingredients. I can’t wait to make them again. I might drizzle them with hot chocolate syrup next time!
