Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until well combined.
Add the pumpkin puree and mix until smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars and serve. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
