Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour If not using oats, use 2 cups of flour (can also use 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 all-purpose flour for healthier option.)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats or quick oats
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips save out some for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars and then add pumpkin and beat in until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice and salt together in a bowl, then pour and stir into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Mix in the oats and chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Spread into 2 - 8x8 greased pans or a 13x9 greased pan, add saved out chocolate chips and sprinkle on top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes for 2 - 8x8 pans or 20-25 minutes for 13x9 pan or until just light brown.
  • Don't over-bake for best results.
  • Cool, cut and store in an airtight container.

Notes

To make these more like blondie-ish, omit an egg.
Add less chocolate chips to batter for less chocolate flavor.
