Pumpkin Bar = Pumpkin Bread

So I was a little disappointed with my baking last night. I had been waiting all week to try out this pumpkin bar recipe I had come across, in my mind I am imagining a lemon bar but with the pumpkin taste, I was after the gooey, tangy effect. I first started to doubt my pumpkin bars when I poured them into the pan. They were crustless. I had never made crustless lemon bars before...? I guess I should have realized by all the flour and eggs in the recipe that the pumpkin bar was actually going to turn out to be pumpkin BREAD, albeit very moist bread. I am very disappointed in my lack of a gooey sweet pumpkin bar but here is pretty tasty bread recipe if you care to try it.

1 cup flour 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup oil 1 tsp baking soda

2 eggs 1 tsp salt

1 cup canned pumpkin 1 tsp cinnamon


Preheat oven to 350

Grease 9x13 pan

Mix all ingredients until well blended

Bake for 25 min

Bad pic I know, but it was pretty tasty. As you can see my niece and I made a dent in it. It was very pumpkin-y and the nuts were an added treat, it was nice and moist .... but lacking in the gooey bar factor. I will continue my search!
