How to Make Debbie's Pumpkin Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  10. Frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or serve with whipped cream.
