Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs (room temp)
1 can(s) pumpkin (15 oz)
1 2/3 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (I ALWAYS DOUBLE IT!)
1- 8 ounce pkg cream cheese softened
1/4 c butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 c powdered sugar

Steps:

1. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and set aside.
2. Beat sugar, pumpkin, oil, and eggs until well incorporated.
3. Gradually add dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Pour mixture into an ungreased 15x10x1 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
5. For the cream cheese frosting: Beat together butter, cream cheese, vanilla until incorporated. Gradually add powdered sugar, and taste as you go. I like my frosting a little less sweet so I end up using less than the full amount of powdered sugar. Once frosted, I garnish with cinnamon on top. Enjoy! (I died the frosting orange in the picture for Halloween and topped with fresh ground cinnamon)

Tips:

Use fresh or canned pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée is ideal, but canned pumpkin purée is a convenient alternative.
Be sure to drain the pumpkin purée well before using. This will help to prevent your pumpkin bars from being too wet.
Use a combination of spices to flavor your pumpkin bars. Pumpkin pie spice is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your pumpkin bars tough.
Bake the pumpkin bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that your pumpkin bars are cooked through.
Let the pumpkin bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin bars are a delicious and festive fall treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and bake sales. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pumpkin bars every time. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
