In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, oil, vanilla, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
Spray a cupcake pan with the cooking spray. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into cupcake cup. This will yield 12 fudge brownies.
Bake the brownies at 350°F for 20 minutes or until done and a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove brownies from pan and carefully spoon 1 teaspoon of the cherry pie filling or cherry preserves onto the top of each brownie. Slightly press filling into the center. Allow the brownies to cool.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the orange juice, zest and powdered sugar until smooth.
Place the brownies on a platter and drizzle with the orange glaze. Serve and Enjoy.
Notes
Canned pumpkin is the hidden secret to make these oh so fudgy brownies. Cherry filing and a fresh orange glaze make this a delicious and "safe" dessert to serve and satisfy that sweet tooth!
