How to Make Pumpkin Raisin Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
- Beat at low speed until just moistened, then beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and 1 cup raisins.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, ⅓ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the cooled bars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
