Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides (trim the two opposite sides, if desired). Lightly coat with cooking spray. To prepare brownie layer: Whisk 2/3 cup flour, cocoa, salt and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat 2 eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, oil, 1/4 cup pumpkin and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed just until well blended, scraping down the sides. To prepare cheesecake layer: Clean the beaters. Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg, pumpkin, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and ginger; beat until well blended. Reserve 1/3 cup of the brownie batter for the topping. Fold chocolate chips into the remaining batter and scrape into the prepared pan, making sure to spread it all the way to the corners. Spread the cheesecake batter over the brownie layer to cover evenly. Drop the reserved brownie batter by generous teaspoonfuls over the top and draw a dull knife through the top of the two batters to create a swirl design. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. When cool, use the foil as handles to lift the brownies from the pan before cutting into squares. Tips Make Ahead Tip: Store airtight for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
