Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the dessert cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve.
