I am one of those people who love pumpkin spice dessert and these Pumpkin Patch Squares are definitely a favorite! They are super easy and oh-so-yummy. These squares make a delicious breakfast with your morning coffee or a tasty afternoon snack with some cold milk.
Let’s get to it!
Pumpkin Patch Squares
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 sticks butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin (pure pumpkin NOT pie filling)
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Coat 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray (or use parchment paper like I do!)
In a medium bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well with a whisk*.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla and mix until creamy. Beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Spread mixture evenly into pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container. Will keep 2 to 3 days in container or longer if refrigerated.
*This is a pro tip from Duff Goldman-Always use a wire whisk to mix your dry ingredients!
Enjoy! And watch out for hands that mysteriously grab them!
