Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Melt your butter in a small pot or saucepan and then stir it for about 5 minutes, or until it develops an amber color. Once the butter turns amber, immediately turn off the burner.
  • Let the butter cool for a few minutes and then add it to a large mixing bowl with the brown sugar. Whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in the egg until it is homogeneous with the butter mixture and then stir in the pumpkin puree.
  • Gently whisk in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure there are no clumps of dry ingredients in your batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Let the bars cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
