Creating Pumpkin Bars with Chocolate Chips is as simple as following these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice: Once cool, slice into squares or bars as desired.
