• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
• 3/4 cup powdered milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large bar-cookie pan.
2. Stir pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, oil, and water together in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Stir all-purpose flour, pastry flour, powdered milk, almonds, flax seed meal, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together with a whisk in a separate bowl; stir into the pumpkin mixture until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
