Tips:

  • Make sure your pumpkin is ripe. Ripe pumpkins have a deep orange color and are heavy for their size.
  • Roast your pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin will intensify its flavor and make it easier to puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
