Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup (130 g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a larger bowl, stir melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in the pumpkin puree until the batter is thick and slightly glossy.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently just until combined.
  7. Gently stir in chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  8. Spread the dough evenly in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and scatter reserved chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are golden and set but the center is still soft and puffy.
  10. Cool briefly for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly but remain soft inside.
  11. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Do not overbake; the center should still jiggle slightly for a gooey texture. Use melted butter for a cakier texture. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. Fresh spices improve flavor. Can be made gluten-free or vegan with substitutions.
