- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée canned or homemade
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla yogurt fat-free or low fat
- 2 extra-large eggs
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions

- In a large bowl, whisk together, flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, sugars, oil, yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Stir pumpkin mixture into flour mixture and stir just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips just until incorporated. Transfer to prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes.

Notes
Need to serve a crowd some "snacks"? Just double the ingredients (use the whole (15 ounce) can of pumpkin purée if you use store bought) and bake in a 9 x 13-inch metal baking pan.
