This recipe was from my elderly neighbor and I loved as a child. She has long since passed away but whenever I make these the happy childhood memories come rushing back.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
⅔ cup solid-pack pumpkin puree
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Beat flour, brown sugar, pumpkin, 1/2 cup butter, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, and baking powder together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until batter is evenly combined, about 2 minutes. Fold pecans into batter and spread into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

These bars were a little too dry for my taste. I think I might have needed to add more pumpkin puree.

These bars were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter texture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked them.
