- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 15-1/2 x 10-1/2
x 1-inch baking sheet.
- Stir first 8 ingredients (dry ingredients) in large bowl
to blend. Add vanilla extract, pumpkin, eggs and applesauce.
Beat until well blended. Mix in raisins.
- Add chopped nuts and/or crystallized ginger if you desire!
- Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or
until tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove
from oven and allow to cool on a rack.
-These bars are so delicious, you really don't need frosting
to enhance flavors. But if you insist: Beat Organic Valley
Neufchatel Cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and Organic
Valley Salted Butter in medium bowl to blend. Spread frosting
over cake in a thin layer. (Can be prepared one day ahead;
Refrigerate until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated.)
-Cut into 24 bars. Enjoy with a tall glass of Organic Valley
Milk!
Serving Size: 24 bars
