Brown Butter Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars (Soft, Fudgy & Irresistible!)

Ingredients

• 1 cup salted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
2. Melt your butter in a small pot or saucepan and then stir it for about 5 minutes, or until it develops an amber color. Once the butter turns amber, immediately turn off the burner.
3. Let the butter cool for a few minutes and then add it to a large mixing bowl with the brown sugar. Whisk to combine.
4. Whisk in the egg until it is homogeneous with the butter mixture and then stir in the pumpkin puree.
5. Gently whisk in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure there are no clumps of dry ingredients in your batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Let the bars cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
