I was restless and bored one night and couldn't sleep so I decided to bake something. After raiding the kitchen this is what I threw together. I love that it has a mild sweetness and isn't over powering. So, if you prefer really sweet things I suggest you add more sugar. I also love how light these are.

12 tablespoons/170 grams (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, more for the pan
1/2 cup/55 grams pecans
1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups/454 grams dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon/3 grams ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon/1 gram grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams fine sea salt
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons/113 grams (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
3 ounces/85 grams bittersweet chocolate (60 to 70 percent)

1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon/1 gram fine sea salt
1/4 cup/30 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-x-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and butter the paper.
  • Spread pecans out on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant and lightly colored, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop.
  • Make the pumpkin batter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 12 tablespoons/170 grams butter. Cook until the foam completely subsides and butter turns a deep nut brown, about 5 minutes. Pour browned butter into the bowl of an electric mixer and let cool, about 10 minutes.

  • Using a wooden spoon, mix in flour, then toasted pecans. Set aside.

Whisk in cocoa powder and sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then whisk in vanilla and salt. Using a spatula, fold in flour.
  • Dollop pumpkin and chocolate batter into the prepared pan, alternating the dollops. Drag the tip of a knife in a zigzag pattern all over the pan to swirl the batters together.
  • Bake until firm to the touch, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: This will give your bars the best flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can buy it canned.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking will make the bars dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars. If it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
