# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a slight overhang for effortless removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well mixed.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing for best texture.
05 - Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 22 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges mostly clean, showing just a few moist crumbs.
08 - Set the pan on a wire rack and let the bars cool fully. Lift out using parchment, slice into bars, and serve.
