Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pumpkin puree
- 200 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Crushed pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a square baking dish, approximately 8x8 inches, with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Add the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish and let it cool slightly. Stir it into the batter along with the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares or bars.
Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed pecans before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
