Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe pumpkin. This will give your bars the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to drain the pumpkin puree well. Excess moisture will make your bars too wet and dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make your bars dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

These glazed pumpkin bars are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or simply enjoying at home with your family and friends. With their moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and decadent glaze, these bars are sure to be a hit!
