Grandma Carol's Pumpkin Roll image

My mom always makes her pumpkin roll around Thanksgiving and takes one to work where everyone asks her if she can make them one and they all want the recipe. You may want to halve the recipe unless you are making for a crowd or to give away. It makes a lot. It is without a doubt the best pumpkin roll I've ever had!

Tips

  • To ensure even cooking, use a 9x13 inch baking pan. A smaller pan will result in thicker, less-cooked bars, while a larger pan will produce thinner, more crispy ones.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter for a more complex taste.
  • If you don't have a mixer, you can easily make the batter by hand. Just whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in tough, dense bars. Mix just until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion

These pumpkin bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're moist, flavorful, and have a crispy crust. Plus, they're packed with pumpkin, which is a healthy and nutritious ingredient. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give these pumpkin bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
