I have made these brownies many times over the years. They are a family favorite for get togethers, over the holidays.

These were really delicious and perfectly spiced, but I would definitely call them cake, not brownies. I was hoping for something with a chewier, brownie-like texture.

I still have my original clipping of this recipe from Taste of Home. It is baking right now, the second day of Autumn, and my house smells wonderful!

These are really good. No frosting necessary. I don't know if I'd call them brownies though, they are really light and fluffy. I would definitely make again.

The house smelled wonderful while these were baking. All the flavours of Fall in one pan of beautifully moist brownies. My oven may be off but they took about 32 minutes to be done. Well worth the wait....delicious!
