This is a recipe that my mum used to make, but I never really had a taste for when I was younger. But, luckily for me, my taste buds changed (did you know that that happens every 7 years?!?!) and I now love them! They are really easy to make, and are always a big hit. It’s a really easy recipe to double if you are taking to a party.
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
14 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Cream sugar and margarine; add egg, vanilla and pumpkin; add flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Then fold in the walnuts (if you’re using them). Spread the batter in a 10 x 13 pan. Bake at 375 for 17-20 minutes, or until tooth pick comes out clean. Cool slightly and frost with spice frosting. Cut into bars and enjoy!
