For Our Beloved Nurses

Wes has had some really awesome nurses since he has been in the special care nursery. Tonight, my mom brought some pumpkin bars for them to say thank you for all that they have done for Wes and for us. They asked for the recipe, so I'm blogging it for them!

1 (16 oz) can pumpkin

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
