Ingredients

2-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup water

1 pound pitted dates(about 3 cups), roughly chopped

1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. In a second bowl, cream butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin, vanilla and water and beat again until combined.

In a small bowl toss dates with 1/4 cup of flour mixture until coated well. Gradually add remaining flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, beating slowly. Stir in dates and pecans then transfer batter to a

greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan and spread out evenly.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool on a rack, then cut into squares and serve.
