It’s fun when you cook something that brings back wonderful memories of great times and special friends. This is a recipe I used to make a lot when we lived in Alaska and my husband, Jasen and I were leading the young adult ministry there. It was always a favorite! It feeds a crowd and is quick and easy.

How to:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of a 15″ jelly roll pan. Beat eggs, sugar, oil & pumpkin in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in all of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

**These bars freeze really well. Layer them with wax paper and wrap well**
