Yummmmm! These brownies are fudgy, moist, sweet, chocolatey, and…. (wait for it)… better for you! Now, they aren’t health food by any means, but they contain pumpkin instead of oil and eggs, which not only cuts the fat content but also adds fiber and vitamin C.
So you can feel just a bit less guilty about about those two that you scarf down when no one is looking (not that anything like that ever happens in my house).
And, here is the best part, there are only 3 ingredients! These are super easy to make, which is good because they disappear into the kids really fast (think hungry teenage boys), but I can easily put together another batch if needed.
You may not be able to find Pumpkin Spice Oreos, since they are a limited edition seasonal product, but Golden Oreos work just as well. I also want to try putting shortbread cookies in the middle – I think that would be delicious as well! I love experimenting with different ways to jazz up these decadent treats.
Pumpkin Oreo Brownies
Ingredients
- 15 ounces brownie mix (1 box)
- 15 ounces 100% pure pumpkin (1 can)
- 12 ounces Pumpkin Spice Oreos (1 package, substitute Golden Oreos if Pumpkin Spice Oreos are not available)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix and pumpkin.
- Spread about half of the batter in the baking pan.
- Place the Oreos on top of the batter, touching but not overlapping. Press them down gently into the batter a little bit.
- Spread the rest of the batter over the Oreos.
- Bake about 25 minutes.

Just wondering, do you provide nutritional info for your recipes?
Kristin King says
Hi Sara! I used to, but it took me a lot of time to compile the information and post it, so I have stopped including it right in the recipe. However, Yummly calculates the nutritionals automatically, so you can always go there to see them. Here is the link for the Yummly page for these brownies: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Pumpkin-Oreo-Brownies-1355769?columns=4&position=25%2F59
Scroll down to see the nutritional info. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Bernadette says
OMG! Kristin, this recipe is fabulous. Your dessert will be on my Thanksgiving menu, but I won’t wait until then to make these scrumptious brownies. Once again, your photographs are beautiful. I hope my brownies look half as good as yours.
Kristin King says
Thanks, Bernadette! They really are a favorite around my house. Sometimes the boys will even make a batch themselves if they are looking for a quick sweet treat. However, when they do, I am not sure that all the batter actually makes it to the oven! Haha! 🙂 I hope you guys enjoy these!
