Yield 36 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup applesauce
3 eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

In mixer combine wet ingredients stir until combined.
In another bowl mix dry ingredients then combine with wet ingredients.
Pour in greased cookie sheet spread evenly. 350 degrees for 15 minute.
Frosting. Mix cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powder sugar mix until smooth add vanilla.
(I add applesauce instead of veg. oil for a healthier version. If you dont care veg. oil works great. Same amount. 1 cup applesauce=1 cup veg oil.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your pumpkin bars the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure it's 100% pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pumpkin bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a 9x13 inch baking pan. This is the standard size for pumpkin bars, and it will give you the perfect amount of bars.
Bake the pumpkin bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
Let the pumpkin bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin bars are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of pumpkin bars that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these pumpkin bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
