Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the pumpkin puree to the wet mixture and stir until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the additional 0.5 cup of chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper and slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your rich, gooey Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies!
