Frequently asked questions?

An 8 x 8 square pan lined with parchment paper is recommended for these brownies.

Do I need to refrigerate the brownies?

Once cooled completely store them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?

You can definitely make your own pumpkin puree but it's so much easier and one less step if you use the canned. I always like to keep canned organic pumpkin in my pantry.
