Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter or spray a 9″ x 13” pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer combine butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla.
Mix on medium until well combined.
In a separate bowl mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Incorporate flour mixture into wet ingredients just until combined, do not overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips by hand. Add in walnuts or pecans if you’d like some added crunch.
Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Test the doneness of center by inserting a toothpick- if it comes out clean they are done.
Remove from oven and cool before slicing into 2” x 2” squares.
