CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN SWIRL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 inch baking pan with non-stick spray. The pan can be lined with foil or parchment paper for easy removal; spray the lining lightly with non-stick spray.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar; mix until it's smooth and creamy. Add in the pumpkin, flour, spices and egg white; mixing again until well combined. Set aside.
• Prepare the brownie mix according to the mix instructions, adding in the extra egg yolk that was separated from the pumpkin swirl egg. Set aside a 1/2 cup of the brownie mixture and pour the remaining mixture into the prepared baking pan.
• Dollup the pumpkin swirl mixture all over the top of the brownies, then dollup the remaining brownie mixture on top of that. Using a knife, swirl through the top to create a nice swirl pattern.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a tooth pick comes out clean.
• Cool completely before cutting. Store covered in the refrigerator.
