Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure those squares come out easily.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the crust in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until it’s lightly golden. While that’s baking, let’s get to that pumpkin goodness!
- In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until all the ingredients are well combined. Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder; stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- Pour the pumpkin filling over the pre-baked crust and spread it out evenly. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the squares cool in the dish on a wire rack. When they’re cool enough, slice them into squares.
- Serve ’em up with a dollop of whipped cream on top if you like. Trust me, it completes the dish!
