1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and
fluffy. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add the dry
ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is
smooth. Spread the batter into a greased 13 by 10-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool
completely before frosting. Cut into bars.
