{My apologies to those of you in your 20's...you'll need to google it.} ;)
Because I can't get enough pumpkin and pumpkin season is about to end, I give you...
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars
{recipe adapted from Everyday Food, Nov 2004}
2 c all-purpose flour (could use white whole wheat here)
1 & 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp cloves
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp coarse salt
1 c unsalted butter, room temp
1 & 1/4 c sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 c pumpkin puree
12 oz chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350. Line bottom and side of 13x9" pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides.
Whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda and salt.
Cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high until smooth. Beat in the egg & vanilla. Beat in the pumpkin puree (it will look curdled...do not worry).
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using an offset spatula (or the back of a spoon), spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (or with a few crumbs, not batter). Cool completely in the pan.
Lift the bars from the pan using the foil. Peel off the foil and cut into squares.
{They are delicious!!!}
Alright...bring on the gingerbread!!!

Hi there. Found this recipe via Pinterest. Made these tonight for my parents' anniversary and everyone LOVED them! They were sooooo yummy! Will definitely be making again! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I am going to make these today for my mom's Autumn/Halloween Party Lite open house and I am sure they will be a great success! Can't wait to try them! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy! I can't wait to try them.
ReplyDeleteWell that's just great – now I'm gonna have a Debby Boone earworm all day. Being OCD sucks sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing, I'll be featuring them tomorrow on my blog www.trilogyedibles.com for great pumpkin recipes from around the web!
ReplyDeleteOh my YUM! Consider yourself "pinned!" ;)
ReplyDeleteIn the oven now!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm way late, but these are delicious! I made them in mini muffin tins and baked at 350 for about 20-22 minutes. Next time I will increase the spices a little bit, but I loved that they weren't too sweet and had good pumpkin flavor. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThese are SO good! Made them last night, and I think if anything, I'd reduce the sugar to just a cup. There is plenty of pumpkin and the chocolate chips add plenty of sweetness. I didn't have allspice to I put in a dash of pumpkin pie spice and it was perfect!

ReplyDeleteMade these today! Having trouble waiting for them to cool!! Smells great in our house.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the recipe. I made these and they are delicious! I used one tsp of pumpkin pie spice ( instead of all of the individual spices) with an additional 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. They are perfect.
ReplyDeletedo you have to use the foil in the pan? is there a reason for not just using a glass dish with cooking spray?
ReplyDeleteRight below these squares it says that I made them last night and they are delicious, I NEVER WROTE THAT !
ReplyDeleteThese were excellent!
ReplyDeleteCould you frost these with cream cheese frosting or would that be too much?
ReplyDeleteI have made these brownies multiple times and they have become famous at my husband's workplace. He is asked frequently to bring in a batch. :) They are delicious!
