Ingredients
- ¾ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree (make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup chocolate chips for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray, then set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the sugar and eggs, mixing until well incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir just until everything is combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into two bowls and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Add the pumpkin mixture to one bowl of batter and the cooled chocolate mixture to the other. Stir each until thoroughly mixed.
- Alternately spoon the chocolate and pumpkin batters into the prepared baking dish. Once filled, use a knife to swirl the batters for a marbled effect. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
