Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
