Description
Delicious fudgy bars made with pumpkin purée and chocolate chips, perfect for fall.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée, blotted well
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, reserve 1/4 cup for topping
Instructions
- Prep The Pan: Line a 13 by 9 inch metal pan with a parchment sling and lightly grease exposed sides. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Whisk The Wet: In a large bowl whisk pumpkin purée, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, oil, egg, and vanilla until glossy and smooth.
- Fold In Dry: Sprinkle flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon over the bowl. Fold gently until no dry streaks remain.
- Add Chocolate: Fold in 1 1/4 cups chips. Spread batter evenly and scatter remaining chips over the surface.
- Bake To Fudgy: Bake for 24 to 28 minutes for the 13 by 9 pan. Pull when edges look set, the center has a faint jiggle, and a tester shows moist crumbs.
- Cool And Slice: Cool 20 to 30 minutes on a rack. Lift with parchment and cut into 16 to 24 bars.
Notes
For a slightly healthier version, use less sugar or dark chocolate chips.
