Ingredients

  

• 2 1/2 cups (312 g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled* or weighed)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 3/4 cup (170 g) vegan butter*
• 1 cup (220 g) packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (60 g) pumpkin purée
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) non-dairy milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (252 g) vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a 9″×13″ (22×33 cm) pan and set aside.
• Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
• Add the butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat with a hand mixer or the stand mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add the pumpkin, milk, and vanilla and beat until well combined.
• Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until just combined.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with just crumbs.
• Allow to cool slightly and slice into 24 bars.

Notes

1. Measure your flour using the spoon and level method or your bars may turn out dry and crumbly.
2. You should use vegan buttery sticks (like Earth Balance) in this recipe rather than butter out of a tub. For the best outcome, bring your butter out 15-30 minutes before using.
