Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and/or spray with cooking spray.
To a large bowl, add the egg pumpkin, vanilla and milk and whisk until combined.
In a separate smaller bowl, add the oat flour, coconut flour, protein powder, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Fold in 2 Tbsp of the chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter to the baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. You still want it a little damp for most moist texture!
