Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Pumpkin Puree (15 oz) Look for pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar For deep sweetness and caramelization.
  • 2 large Eggs Helps bind the mixture.
  • 1 cup Flour (all-purpose) Provides structure to the dish.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Ensures the dish rises.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Adds warmth.
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg Another warm spice.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor.
  • a pinch Salt Balances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

For added flavor, you can roast your own pumpkin for a fresher taste. Use chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for variations. Allowing the dish to cool in the pan will help achieve neat slices.
