Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened baking cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In mixer, blend butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, beat until combined. Blend in the pumpkin. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Spread half the batter in bottom of greased 13x9 pan. To the remaining batter, mix in the cocoa powder. Spoon remaining cocoa batter on top, swirl slightly into the bottom layer.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Storage. Store leftover bars in airtight container at room temperature.
- Freeze. I recommend, freezing the pumpkin snack bars before adding any powdered sugar. Cut into bars and place a sheet of wax paper between layers before freezing, so they don't stick together. These bars will keep well in the freezer for about 2 months. After that, you can expect some changes to taste and texture.
- Be sure to choose pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)!
