Day Four - Pumpkin Swirled Brownies

My intentions tonight were to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, but when I went to gather all the ingredients, I was out of butter.  I came up with an alternate plan that merged two recipes.  The end result was some pretty great Pumpkin Swirled Brownies. 

Basic Brownie Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Pumpkin Swirl ingredients:

1/4 cup pureed pumpkin
3 ounces cream cheese

I mixed the oil, sugar & vanilla, then beat in the eggs one at a time.  In a separate bowl I mixed the flour & cocoa & then slowly added them to the wet mixture.  I poured half of this into a 9x9 greased pan.  Next I mixed the two pumpkin swirl ingredients together & dropped that mixture by spoonfuls on top & then the remaining brownie batter over that.  I baked them in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes.  I refrigerated them after baking.
