Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your bars the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your 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 them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin spice bars are the perfect fall treat. They're moist, flavorful, and packed with pumpkin spice flavor. They're also easy to make and can be made ahead of time. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these pumpkin spice bars are sure to be a hit.
