How to Make Yum Yum Pumpkin Bars Low Fat Too

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the cooked butternut squash until smooth. Add the applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the sugar and chopped pecans.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
