It seemed only fitting to kick off the first day of fall with an easy pumpkin recipe! These Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Bars are super simple to mix up and are a perfect snack cake, or breakfast treat. These bars have a mild pumpkin flavor, a nice balance of spices, and lots of yummy white chocolate chips (my favorite part!). These bars have more of a cake texture than cookie, so if you want to call it Pumpkin Snack Cake, go for it!

Ingredients
- 2 cups flour

- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 12 oz white chocolate chips 1 package
Instructions
- Prepare a 9"x13" pan by lining it with parchment paper, or greasing it with bit of butter.
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices and set aside.
- In another large bowl whisk together the melted butter and sugars. Add the egg, then vanilla and pumpkin and blend together well with the whisk (no need for an electric mixer).
- Pour the bowl of dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, add the white chocolate chips and blend together with a spatula or wooden spoon just until fully incorporated.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly in the pan.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until it appears set and a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean.
- Cool fully, then cut into bars as desired.
Notes
Use 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice in place of the individual spices, if desired.
Feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate, if desired.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I made these and they are wonderful but mine turned out doughy, especially in the middle … I was wondering if the amount for the butter should have been only 1/2 c?
I did use butterscotch chips instead of white, but don’t think that made the difference … Any thoughts?
Thank you!!
