Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 15 oz pumpkin puree can or homemade
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (substitution: 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground ginger and 1/4 tsp ground cloves)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well and gradually add to butter-sugar mixture, stirring until combined. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well and drop in dollups on top of batter in pan. Using a butter knife, make swirls through the cream cheese.
  • Top with chocolate chips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, cut into squares and serve!

Notes

  • If you choose to omit the chocolate chips, a fine layer of powdered sugar over the bars would be beautiful and tasty!
