Pumpkin Swirl Brownies
So you know when you are baking pumpkin recipes & you end up having 1/2 cup of leftover pumpkin just sitting in your fridge & you don’t know what to do with it?
Well, now you know that you can make these Pumpkin Swirl Brownies! I don’t think I really realized how well pumpkin & chocolate go together until I made these brownies! They are phenomenal! The chocolate is sweet & the pumpkin cream cheese swirl adds a smooth, moist, spiced flavor that compliments the fudgy brownies well.
Even if you have to crack open a can of pumpkin to make these bad boys, just do it! You won’t regret it!

Pumpkin Swirl Brownies
Ingredients
- 18.3 oz (520 g) box family size brownie mix, (for a 13×9" pan)
- Ingredients for the brownies, (Mine called for ¼ cup water, ⅔ cup vegetable oil, & 2 eggs.)
- 4 oz (113 g) block-style cream cheese
- ½ cup (122 g) pumpkin puree
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add ingredients to the brownie mix according to the directions on the box. Whisk & set aside.
- In a separate bowl, with a hand mixer, beat cream cheese with pumpkin, sugar, egg & pumpkin pie spice.
- In a greased square 8×8″ or 9×9″ baking dish, spread three-fourths of the brownie batter across the bottom. Then drizzle & pour all of the pumpkin batter over the bottom layer of brownies. Lastly, dollop the remaining brownie batter over the cream cheese mixture. Using a butter knife, swirl the brownie & pumpkin batters together to create a marbled look.
- Bake at 350˚F for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Allow to cool before cutting & serving. Store covered in the refrigerator.

My mouth is watering just looking at these delicious brownies!!
Those look delicious Amber. I have to say that I have never even thought about combining pumpkin and chocolate before. I seem to be in the minority and should give it a try. 🙂
Chocolate, cream cheese, and pumpkin? Sounds great to me! I bet these are delicious, and so pretty, too!
