Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 eggs
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch baking dish. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the white sugar, canola oil, and pumpkin puree until no lumps of pumpkin puree remain. Stir in the carrots and pineapple, then fold in the flour mixture until no lumps of flour remain. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  • While the pumpkin bars are cooling, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Frost the cooled bars with the cream cheese frosting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée will give your bars a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own purée, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix the batter 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 bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for fall. With their moist texture, pumpkin flavor, and cream cheese frosting, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to make, give these pumpkin bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
