I followed the ingredients exactly, but was not sure what size pan to use. I put the batter in a 13x9 inch cake pan, and it cooked evenly in the time allotted. The bars are delicious, though they are more cakey and soft than I prefer--I was looking for something chewy and firmer. Still a healthy way to use up a little pumpkin left from other projects!
