Ingredients
  

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

          Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) into the batter until evenly distributed.

            Pour into Baking Dish: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

              Bake the Bars: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake!

                Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the edges of the parchment paper. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

                  Serve and Enjoy: These bars can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
