Pumpkin Squares

Pumpkin Squares

Fiona Haynes
Not quite a brownie, these little low fat pumpkin squares make a delightful Halloween treat. Whole wheat pastry flour makes these pumpkin squares light in texture, and brown sugar and, of course, pumpkin, makes them nice and moist. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips to make the chocolatey taste spread further.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, cocoa, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, sugar, egg and egg whites and oil. Stir flour and spice mixture into egg and sugar mixture.

Stir in chocolate chips. Empty batter into pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Makes 16 squares

Hi Donna,

I have been looking for things with whole wheat, to get away from the processed foods.  This is great, thanks.
