Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour Spoon and leveled
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice Warm aromatic base
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda For lift
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Balances sweetness
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Softened to room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar For sweetness and structure
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup Adds deep, earthy sweetness
  • 1 large egg Room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree Not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla extract Flavor enhancer
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips Semi-sweet preferred

Equipment

  • 1 9×13 inch baking dish For baking the slab
  • 1 Electric mixer Hand or stand mixer
  • 1 Parchment paper For easy removal

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl to distribute the spices evenly.
  3. Beat the butter until creamy, then add the sugar, maple syrup, egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla, mixing until thoroughly combined.
  4. Slowly add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined with no visible dry streaks.
  5. Fold the chocolate chips in with a rubber spatula, then spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, covering with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  7. Allow the pan to cool for 20 minutes before transferring the slab to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

If your pumpkin puree is particularly watery, blot it gently with a paper towel before mixing; removing excess moisture keeps the final texture chewy rather than cake-like.
