gluten free pumpkin brownies

Okay so we are trying to eat less grains and less sugar around here.  Well here is one dessert recipe that is so good if you are trying to stay away for both sugar or grains and it is still good even if you are not! 

1 14 oz can pumpkin

3 large eggs

1/3 c of melted butter or coconut oil

1/4 c cocoa powder

pinch of salt

2 tsp of vanilla (do you make your own-hmm you should so good and saves $-I'll post later) ps I did post it ;)

1/2 c of sweetner of your choice-I used maple syrup (honey would work)

1/2 c of chocolate chips

1/3 c of chopped nuts if you want (really good with or without)

homemade whipping cream to go on top here is how: http://gracehomemaking.blogspot.com/2013/04/make-your-own-whipping-cream-what.html

Preheat your oven to 350

In a mixing bowl add all the ingredent, just not the chocolate chips or nuts

Mix well-I love my kitchen aide so easy!

Then add your nuts and chocolate chips and stir in.

Grease a 8x8 pan and dump the batter in

Bake for 40 minutes or until toothpicks comes clean

I have doubled this recipe a lot and use a 9x13 pan!  It is that easy and oh so yummy!
