Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with vegetable oil and a paper towel.

Recipe Notes:

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container on the counter or fridge for up to 3-4 days. These bars also freeze really well. Add to an airtight freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
Frozen bars can be thawed overnight at room temperature. I like to wrap a frozen one in a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute until warm.
  • Swap all-purpose flour with cake flour for a fluffier texture.
  • Make sure to use canned pure pumpkin puree and not the canned pumpkin pie filler with extra ingredients added.
  • Don't want melted runny chocolate? After the bars bake the chocolate will be melted and runny. When you slice into them, they will be ooey gooey. You can wait until the bars are completely cooled and chilled before cutting them. The chocolate chips will have hardened by this time.
  • Lightly grease the baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a bit of vegetable oil on a paper towel. This will help prevent the bars from sticking to the dish.
  • TOPPING IDEAS: These bars don't need any toppings, but you can certainly add some! Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, plain greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, drizzle peanut butter or whipped coconut cream.
