Recipe Introduction


Dense and chewy, these spiced pumpkin and pecan bars taste even better the day after they’re baked. Wonderful to snack on, they also can make a fine dessert—just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.



List of Ingredients




8 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dried currants

Recipe



Heat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9-inch-square baking pan.

In a large bowl with electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until well blended—about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ginger, salt, and cloves. On low speed, add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture just until combined. Stir in pecans and currants. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.

Bake 35 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting into 9 squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
