Super soft and incredibly moist pumpkin bars with bits of chocolate chips. The combination of the pumpkin flavour and sweet spices is just perfect!
Ingredients
1 c. (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
2 c. (258 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)
1 1/2 c. (232 grams) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons (6 grams) pumpkin pie spice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 c. (150 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 c. (110 grams) packed light brown sugar
1 c. (242 grams) canned pumpkin
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to make Pumpkin Bars with Chocolate Chips
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter and line with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper.
Step 2: Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl for about 20 seconds and set aside.
Step 3: Place the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream until well blended. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix well, then mix in the pumpkin.
Step 4: To the mixture in the stand mixer, add the flour mixture and blend until just combined. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips, reserving about 3 cups for later.
Step 5: In the prepared pan, evenly spread the butter and sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top.
Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the bars comes out clean. Remove from the oven when done and allow to cool completely.
Step 7: Lift the bars from the pan and cut them into squares.
Step 8: Store the bars in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for longer shelf life.
