Egg-free brownies

To make egg-free brownies, mix a dry brownie mix with a can of pumpkin (yes, you're omitting the oil and water as well as the egg). The texture is thicker than normal, but trust me, it will work out. Cook 5 minutes longer than the box directs for standard brownies. Ice with cream cheese frosting. If you can't make/buy icing, a bit of cream cheese to dip the forkfuls into also works well.
Yum! If it turns out V is allergic to eggs (we're still too chicken to test her), this might be her standard "birthday cake." She dug into the brownie with glee. My husband thought it tasted like a Hostess dessert. It reminded me of pumpkin bread with chocolate chips.
