2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp  salt

1 tsp cinnamon 

1 tsp nutmeg

1 3/4 cups light brown sugar, packed

3/4 cups unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks) soften

3  large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until creamy. Beat eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin puree; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in walnuts. Spread into a greased 9 x 11 pan. Bake at 350 for 20 – 25 minutes, or until top is golden brown and toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center. Let cool completely and cut into squares.

~ These came out great! I think next time I will add in some white chocolate chips.

Enjoy!
