Ingredients

1 cup 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour (148 grams)
1 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup + 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (170 grams)
1 large egg
1/4 cup butter, slightly softened⁠ (ghee works too)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (75 grams)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with a little ghee/butter/oil/cooking spray.
Mix together your dry ingredients. Add flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and mix well to combine.
Combine your wet ingredients. Melt your butter in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds or in a small saucepan over the stove. Add your pumpkin, egg, softened butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix well. Fold in 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
Bake. Pour the batter into your greased baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips and bake for 28-32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Enjoy! Let cool, cut into 9 pieces, and enjoy!⁠
