Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares.... Thank me later
2 sticks unsalted butter (room temp)

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 extra large egg beaten

2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup canned solid pumpkin(there will be left over in the can, dont add it. this will make the batch gooey but in a gross way.)

2 cups all purpose gluten free flour (i used bobs red mill)

1 teaspoon xathan gum

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 (12oz) package semi sweet choc. chips



1. pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. allow lining to overhang the edges.

2. in a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. add the egg, then the vanilla and pumpkin and beat to combine. add the flour, xanthan gum, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt, beating after each addition. Reserve a couple tablespoons (1 & 1/2) of the flour mix in a small bowl on the side. Beat the batter well unitl it becomes thicker and a bit more elastic. Add the chocolate chips to the small bowl of reserved flour and toss to coat. then add the flour coated chips to the batter and stir until the chips are evenly distributed throughout.

3. pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing on the top. place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 min, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean.

4. after cooling completely (because we are soo patient right? bwahaha) lift out the squares by the overhung parchment paper, peel it back and slice into squares. enjoy.

I ate mine warm, i like it hot

cream chees was a yummy addition on the top and i think it woulod be a great breakfast treat on a weekend morning. the caramel was a bit much but some may enjoy. .I have never been a pumpkin person and I was blown away by how great these were. They really don't need anything to make them tasty. maybe a glass of milk and a cozy blanket

If anyone makes these leave me a comment and tell me what you think. I personally would have left out some of the chocolate chips. These are incredibly sweet and quite rich. maybe coffee would balance them out though.mmmm with cream cheese? yes please.

In response to the calories question, i'm normally a girl who is all for calorie counts but the recipe book didn't have them and I don't think I really want to know the damage lol. I like to over estimate so i'm guessing 400 cals a square. one pan makes 18 sqares but I stretched it out and made lots of little ones. I am testing to see how well they freeze and reheat/ thaw. I will update when I find out
