Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick baking spray and set the dish aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt).

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, yogurt, pumpkin, and vanilla.

Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour into prepared dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs, about 35 minutes. Set the dish on a cooling rack to cool.

Once thoroughly cool, dust with optional powdered sugar. Slice and serve directly from the dish.
