Pre-baking Preparation

  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and canned pumpkin. Stir in both sugars until well blended.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Baking

Cooling and Serving
