Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the pumpkin squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing into 12 even squares.
Serve and enjoy!
