Recipe by: Brownies & Blondies, Lisa Yockelson Preheat oven to 350 degrees; butter and flour a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice in a bowl. Toss the raisins with 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture. Whisk the butter, shortening, brown sugar, sugar and eggs in a bowl; beat in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour over the dry ingredients, and stir to form a batter. Stir in the pecans and raisins.

Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan; spread evenly. Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until just set and golden on top. Cool completely in the pan on a rack. Cut into bars.
