Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownies

Heaven Bound's Note:

Low calorie and delish! At first I was a little wary of the pumpkin/chocolate chip combo, but trust me, its a hit! The pumpkin makes the brownies super moist. Can also be made into muffins.

Wow! I have to admit I was skeptical too...but DH LOVED these. I followed the recipe exactly, only substituting "white" whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour. Baked for 25 minutes. Great flavor and texture. Thanks Heaven!
