Thanksgiving weekend is upon us here in Canada! One of my favourite weekends of the year! It seems fitting to share with you all a new seasonal recipe I tried last weekend while we had company, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares! They were a hit with the young and old! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares
Recipe type: Dessert

These are really good, go ahead and double the batch and use a 9″x13″ if you like!
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin is fine)
- 1 whole egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (or white chocolate, or both!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line an 8″x 8″ inch pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.

- In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, spices, salt and brown sugar. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.

They do sound delicious and I’m always looking for recipes to add pumpkin too (it’s quite healthy). I’m assuming these have a brownie like texture?
