Yields 24 squares
Ingredients
Cake:
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 (15oz) can of pure pumpkin puree
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ¾ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
⅛ tsp cloves
½ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Simple Maple Vanilla Glaze (Optional):
½ cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp maple syrup
¼ tsp vanilla
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease and flour a 9”x13” rectangle baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add in eggs and whisk vigorously until well combined.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Whisk together until smooth and there are no lumps in your cake batter. Add in chocolate chips and use a spatula to fold them in evenly to the cake batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, and sprinkle the top of your cake with a few more chocolate chips.
- Bake for 28-33 minutes or until the center of the cake is set and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean with just a few moist cake bits clinging to the sides.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before drizzling with glaze.
- To make your glaze, simply whisk together all ingredients until smooth and pourable. You may need to add additional maple syrup 1 tsp at a time to achieve your desired consistency.
- Drizzle cake with glaze and allow glaze to set for another 10 minutes before serving.

Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Prep Time 10 min Cook Time 10 min
Yields 3-4 waffles
Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk
1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice (or pumpkin pie spice)
pinch of salt
toppings:
butter
maple syrup
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and brown sugar. Add in the eggs one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Mix in pumpkin puree, vanilla, and milk, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until just barely combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides.
- Heat your waffle iron, and cook according to your waffle maker instructions. I like to fill mine not quite full so that I get a rough edge on the waffles, but that's up to you!
- Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
*Note: Waffles are best the first day, but can be frozen and toasted as leftovers!

Caramel Pumpkin Brownies
Prep Time 10 min Bake Time 45 min
Yields 18 Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 6 large eggs, divided
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2/3 cup caramels
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil. Grease foil with cooking spray and set aside.
-
First prepare the brownie batter. Combine chocolate chips and butter in a large sauce pan and stir over medium heat until completely melted and combined. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and whisk in 3 eggs, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
-
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cocoa powder. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir til combined. Reserve and set aside 1 cup of the batter. Spread remaining batter in the bottom of your prepared baking pan.
-
In another bowl whisk together pumpkin, remaining 3 eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Pour mixture over brownie batter in pan.
-
In a microwave safe bowl combine caramels and remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream. Cook on high for 2 minutes, stir, and return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time (stirring after each) until caramel is melted and smooth. Drizzle caramel over pumpkin batter.
-
Drop spoonfuls of reserved brownie batter over caramel and pumpkin layers. Use a butter knife to swirl layers (creating a figure-8 a few times usually does the trick).
-
Bake for 45-50minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay but no wet batter). Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars and serving.
