FROSTED PUMPKIN BARS



Frosted Pumpkin Bars image

The best pumpkin bars I've ever tasted! A great treat for fall, or, if you love pumpkin, all year around!

Provided by Jenni K

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can(s) unspiced pumpkin (15 oz)
1 2/3 c white sugar
4 eggs
1 c oil
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ginger
1 can(s) cream cheese frosting

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan. (a 12x18 cookie sheet with sides can be use for thinner bars)
  • 2. Blend pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and oil for 2 minutes.
  • 3. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and ginger. Mix at medium speed for 5-7 minutes.
  • 4. Pour into your prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
  • 5. Once cool, cover with cream cheese frosting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin is ideal, but canned pumpkin purée is a convenient substitute. Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: A cream cheese frosting is a classic choice for pumpkin bars. It's rich, creamy, and pairs perfectly with the pumpkin flavor.
  • Get creative with your toppings: You can top the frosted bars with a variety of toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even a dollop of whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These frosted pumpkin bars are the perfect fall treat. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a festive and flavorful dessert, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
