Recipe: Pumpkin Bars (using whole wheat flour and oil)

PUMPKIN BARS

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, lightly beaten, (or 3/4 cup egg substitute)
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

In a large bowl, mix eggs, pumpkin, brown sugar, and oil. Add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients and mix well. Spread the batter into a baking pan, evening it out with a spatula.
