    List of Ingredients





    1 cup canned pumpkin
    1-1/2 cups packed brown
    3 eggs, beaten
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    Walnut halves (optional)
    1 teaspoon finely shredded
    1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1-1/2 cups sifted powdered
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 cup finely shredded carrots
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 cup milk
    2/3 cup cooking oil

    Recipe



    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside.

    2. In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, orange peel, baking soda, and salt. Set the flour mixture aside.

    3. In a medium bowl combine eggs and brown sugar. Stir in pumpkin, oil, milk, and vanilla. Then stir in carrots and chopped walnuts.

    4. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until combined. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes
    or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Spread with Orange Icing; cut into triangles or bars. If desired, garnish each with a walnut half. Store in an airtight container in the
    refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    Makes 36 bars.

    For Orange Icing: In a mixing bowl combine
    powdered sugar and enough of the orange liqueur
    or orange juice to make an icing that is easy to
    drizzle.

    Make-Ahead Tip: Bake bars as directed; cool
    completely. Do not drizzle with icing. Place cut
    bars in a freezer container and freeze for up to 1
    month. Before serving, thaw for 15 minutes.
    Prepare Orange Icing and drizzle as directed.
