Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin. If you're using canned pumpkin, be sure to choose one that is unsweetened, smooth, and free of additives.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter will make your bars tough. Mix only until the ingredients are well 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 them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Gingerbread pumpkin bars are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them classic or with a twist, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
