PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIE BARS
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.

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.
- Beat the pumpkin purée, egg, brown sugar and bourbon into the cooled browned butter. Scrape down the bowl and beat in baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix in flour, then toasted pecans. Set aside.
- Make the chocolate batter: In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt together 8 tablespoons/113 grams butter and the bittersweet chocolate, stirring with a heatproof spatula until smooth. 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.
