Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin purée: Fresh pumpkin purée has a more intense flavor than canned purée. To make your own purée, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the squares are cooked through.
- Let the squares cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for pumpkin squares. It's rich, creamy, and perfectly complements the pumpkin flavor.
- Garnish the squares with pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts: This will add a festive touch and make the squares even more delicious.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin squares are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for fall. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give pumpkin squares a try.
