And it that does not convince you then how about this? It is that time of the year when we get to indulge in our pumpkin crazy. I don’t know about you but my pumpkin crazy gets earlier and earlier each time. So these pressure cooker brownies will certainly help that pumpkin love along.

I think the secret ingredient that makes these Instant Pot Pumpkin Brownies even more awesome is the flaked almonds. So you get a mouthful of pumpkin and nutty almonds with every bite. However, you can skip the almonds if you want these nut free.

    I haven’t tried making desserts in my pressure cooker yet, but I love the idea of using it for them instead of my oven in the summer. These brownies look fantastic!
