Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ⅓ cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously butter a rimmed 12x18x1-inch baking sheet; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix in oats until well-blended. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to stir butter until creamy. Blend in sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until combined, then add the vanilla and pumpkin and mix until smooth.
- Blend in the flour mixture until just combined, and stir in the chocolate chips. Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out just clean (do not overbake). Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 or 36 bars, depending on what size you like them.
