Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares

• 8 x 8 inch baking pan
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup AP flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup applesauce
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce, oil, vanilla and pumpkin. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and mix thoroughly. Mix in chocolate chips. Spread evenly in cooking sprayed pan. Bake until fork comes out clean, 30 – 40 minutes (as mentioned above, you may want to try a 9×13 in baking pan instead. This took a while to bake for me, but my oven is also a bit wonky). Let cool before cutting.
