Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chopped walnuts in the frosting with chopped pecans. They turned out great!

These pumpkin bars are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. They're also a great make-ahead dessert. I like to make them on the weekend and then enjoy them throughout the week.
