I bought a cookbook a few years ago with the following pumpkin spice bar recipe in it which has become a family favorite. The cookbook also has a yummy raspberry brownie recipe...maybe I'll post that another time.
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. ginger
1 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. cloves
1/4 t. salt
1 c. pumpkin
1/2 c. oil
chopped nuts
In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Stir the pumpkin, oil, and nuts into flour mixture.
Spread into an ungreased 16x12 sheet pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a rack. Baking in a sheet pan serves many--30-40 maybe, but it is thin. I've also baked this in a 13x9 pan, cooked it longer and this yields thicker pieces.
I usually frost these moist bars with cream cheese frosting and sprinkle nuts on the top; however, they are delicious without any frosting. Just sprinkle chopped nuts on the top before you bake them for a nice looking top. If you want the frosting recipe, contact me and I'll be happy to send it to you and/or post it.
