Honestly, I’m a pumpkin crazy person!  I love anything with pumpkin flavor; pumpkins, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin food!  This is my favorite pumpkin bar recipe.  Why?   Because it’s easy and we think it’s delicious!  Healthy enough for breakfast but also a great dessert cake for snack times too!

You will need the following ingredients:

2 cups flour (any variety you like – all purpose, wheat, coconut, etc.)

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 4 eggs
• 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup fat free milk
• 1 cup chocolate chips (you could use less if desired)

To amp up the pumpkin spice flavor you can also add allspice, pumpkin pie spice, ginger or nutmeg.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS

Put your eggs, milk, applesauce, and pumpkin in your mixer bowl (you are more than welcome to mix by hand).

On top of the “wet ingredients” add all your dry ingredients (except chocolate chips). 

This would be your flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, & salt.

Turn your mixer on and blend all the ingredients together. 

You might need to stop it and scrape the sides to get the ingredients mixed fully together. 

I usually only have to do this once.

It should look like the above picture when blended together.

Add your cup of chocolate chips.

Mix on low until the chips are mixed in or just fold the chips in.

Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.

Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Give them a couple minutes to start cooling, but feel free to dig right in. 

The bars are exceptional when the chocolate is warm.

If you really want these pumpkin chocolate chip cookie bars to be decadent you can top them with cream cheese frosting.
