- 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
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- 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.
- 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.
