Directions
Makes 12 servings - cut smaller if you want more pieces and fewer calories each piece! :)

----- PREHEAT OVEN TO 350! -------

1. Mix eggs and sugar, using whisk or electric mixer, until they are smooth.

2. Add pumpkin, pear butter, milk, and vanilla and mix until smooth.

3. Separately, combine dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices). Mix until blended well.

4. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

5. Using 9x13 baking dish or similar. (https://s7.thisnext.com/media/230x230/Pyrex-9-x-13-baking-dish_EA2562A3.jpg)
Pour out batter and spread so that it covers the entire baking dish.

6. Bake for 30 minutes at 350, checking in the last five minutes to be sure it does not get overdone. (My oven is old and imprecise so I am never 100% sure I have gotten exactly 350 degrees - so make sure it's ready with a toothpick or a butter knife!)

7. Cut into 12 (or more) pieces and dig in!

    Yah! It's great. I love anything with 100 calorie portions and this was a tasty treat for me. My 10 year old loved it too. - 10/11/10

    Great recipe! The bars are soft and moist inside and the edge pieces even have a little crunch to them. Not too sweet, and easy to make. Would make again! - 10/11/10
