Healthy Pumpkin Brownies

Healthy Pumpkin BrowniesPumpkin brownies – two of my favorite things!  How many people were shocked at the words healthy and brownies in the same title?

Challenged by my sister Chris to come up with a healthy brownie recipe a few weeks ago after she published her own healthy brownie recipe, I came up with this pumpkin brownies recipe.  Knowing me well, Chris nailed it when she said that I’m an organic, natural kinda person.   I like that she makes me think and urges me outside my comfy box, but — gee!  I’ve got stuff going on and little time to come up with a wa-zoo recipe!  Ah, the pressure….

Being the season for pumpkins, I knew my first healthy ingredient!  In addition, adding veggies to dessert makes it healthy automatically in my opinion.  Right?  Right?

Anyway, following is my Healthy Pumpkin Brownies Recipe in response to her challenge.

Delicious Healthy Brownie Recipe

Healthy Brownie Recipe

Healthy brownie recipe? Really? Is there such a thing? Maybe, but do they taste as good as the real thing? I’m here to say, YES, THEY DO!

Emily and I differ on recipes like this. Just be warned… she is a very natural, organic type of person and I am a “if it tastes good, I like it!” type of person. She would frown on the artificial sweetener portion of this recipe so I challenge her to give me her BEST all natural ingredient brownies that are still healthy in calories. Think she will? Hmmm…

Emily chiming in here:  I have accepted Chris’s challenge.  You can compare this recipe with mine and let us know which recipe is your favorite.  I do strive to use all natural ingredients, and I do NOT like artificial sweeteners.  I guess my Sis and I will have to agree to disagree on this.  (I’ve read the science behind why artificial anything isn’t good.  That’s a topic for another blog post someday.)

While we wait, let’s feast on these delicious 37 calorie brownies!  Do let us know your thoughts on these brownies.  How is the taste?  How is the consistency?  Are they lacking anything by using lower calorie ingredients?

Ice cream cakeEvery year Bill’s daughter asks for ice cream cake for her birthday. This year, I decided I would make one for her. I browsed Pinterest for ideas of easy to make ice cream cakes and saw a couple different possibilities. This is how I cook and create anything I do. I compare a few ideas, take the parts I like, and concoct what works for me. This Reese’s Brownie Toffee Delight Ice Cream Cake was AMAZING! The entire family loved it!
