½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonpumpkin pie spice
¾cupcanned pumpkin puree
½cupunsweetened applesauce

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350. Mist an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, add the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice and whisk together until combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree and applesauce and stir until smoothly combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until smoothly combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and place in the heated oven. Bake for 20-24 minutes (mine were perfect at 22, but all ovens are a little different) until a toothpick inserted comes out with a bit of crumbs stuck on it (you don’t want it fully goopy or fully clean). Allow the brownies to cool and set for 20 minutes before cutting into nine equal pieces.
