Gourmet Pumpkin Brownies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 cup solid pack pumpkin
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked
• 1/2 cup semisweet real chocolate morsels
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 cups butterscotch flavored morsels

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar; add pumpkin, eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Stir in flour, oats, spice, baking powder, baking soda, salt and walnuts.
4. Spread batter into a greased and floured 15 x 10 inch jellyroll pan or 2 (8 inch) square baking pans.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (30 to 35 minutes for 8 inch pans).
6. Immediately sprinkle butterscotch morsels on brownies; let stand for 5 minutes.
7. To frost, gently spread morsels to cover brownies.
8. In small saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat. Drizzle over frosted brownies in a spiral design. While still warm, lightly drag the edge of a knife or thin metal spatula from the center of the spiral to the edge of the pan. Repeat motion at spaced intervals to make a spider web pattern.
9. Cool completely before slicing.
