Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
  • In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Allow to simmer, stirring or swirling occasionally, until the butter has browned. Remove from heat and use a spoon to stir the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Set aside and allow to cool slightly before placing in refrigerator. You'll want the butter to re-solidify slightly.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, sugar, pumpkin, and vanilla. Add cooled browned butter, using a hand mixer to combine.
  • Add flour in 3 batches, scraping the side of the bowl after each addition.
  • Transfer batter to prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes and check! You do not want to overbake these bars! If the center is still slightly wet, add another 3 minutes. Allow to cool and slice in to squares.
