Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bars a more vibrant flavor and color than canned puree.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a 9x13 inch baking pan: A 9x13 inch baking pan is the perfect size for these bars. If you use a smaller pan, the bars will be too thick and may not cook evenly.
- 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 glazing them: This will help the glaze 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 glazed spiced pumpkin bars are the perfect fall treat. They're moist, flavorful, and full of pumpkin spice. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine that makes them irresistible. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these bars are sure to be a hit.
