Pumpkin Bars

My recipe today comes from another blogger Julia,(http://jewels.esmilde.com) who lived in the community where we lived forty years and was a great friend of our daughter Anne. Julia comes from a long line of great cooks. I hope you will take time to try her recipe and also check her blog. Julia has an interesting family which she photographs and blogs along with such beautiful shots of nature and her daily life. In this photo she is photographed on the left with her daughter, (they are not sisters). That was added to eliminate confusion as Julia has maintained her youthful appearance. Thanks Julia for sharing your recipe.

Pumpkin Bars

Beat together:

2 C winter squash or pumpkin (cooked, puree’d, or in my case canned),

1 1/2 C sugar,

3/4 C oil,

4 eggs,

1 tsp vanilla,

1/2 tsp salt.

Then, mix in 1 C flour,

1 C whole wheat flour,

2 tsp baking powder,

1 tsp cinnamon.

Pour into a greased 11×17 inch jelly pan. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes.

NOTE: Julia said she used only all purpose flour and the results were great.
