    Pumpkin Raisin Bars

    Prep Time: 10 min
    Total Time: 40 min
    Serves: Makes 12

    Egg substitute equivalent to 2 eggs
    1/2 cup POST 100% Bran Cereal
    1/4 cup flour
    2 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
    1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine, softened
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    1/2 cup raisins
    powdered sugar (optional)

    BEAT eggs in small bowl. Stir in bran; let stand 5 minutes.

    MIX flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice in another small bowl. BEAT margarine and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in cereal mixture and pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture and raisins until well blended. Spread batter in greased and floured 9-inch square baking pan.

    BAKE at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Cut into squares.

    Tips From the Kraft Kitchens....Great Substitute: Tap into the variety of dried fruits now available at the supermarket. When recipes call for raisins, substitute another dried fruit. Try dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, dates, prunes or figs. Be sure to cut the larger fruits into smaller raisin-size pieces before using.
