  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 40 mins
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks (or chips)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9x13 baking dish and line with parchment.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook until the crackling subsides, swirling gently, and the solids have turned brown and smell nutty. Immediately pour into a mixing bowl to cool.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir to combine, and set aside.
  4. Mix the brown sugar into the brown butter until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, mix completely, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chunks.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when testing the middle of the pan.
  7. Let cool 15 minutes before cutting.
