In a large bowl, combine puree mixture and brownie mix with a spoon just until no dry mix is visible (do not overmix.)
Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake on middle rack for 43-46 minutes, or until the middle rises to almost level with the outside of brownies.
