Why To Use Pumpkin In Brownies?

It's rich in vitamin A, providing over 200% of your daily requirement in just one serving and contains vitamin C and dietary fiber as well. Not only that, it actually creates the most silky and rich texture, which is my favorite thing about using pumpkin puree in my healthy high hrotein chocolate pumpkin brownie recipes.
