how to make pumpkin pie brownies

Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 350 degrees F.

Prepare Brownie Mix: In a large bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, typically combining with the eggs and oil as stated on the box. Set aside.

Make Pumpkin Ricotta Mixture: In another bowl, blend together the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.

Layer Mixtures: In a greased baking pan, pour half of the brownie batter. Then dollop the pumpkin ricotta mixture over the brownie batter and gently spread it. Finally, pour the remaining batter on top, and use a knife to swirl the layers together for a marbled effect. Sprinkle over granulated sugar on top before baking, optional.

Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay).

Cool and Serve: Let it cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
