Description

These warm, spiced pumpkin bars are the perfect fall treat, blending sweetness and cozy flavors in every bite. Ideal for gatherings or a cozy night in.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Cut into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
