Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives these bars the best flavor. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures 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 mini pumpkin spice bars are the perfect fall treat. They're moist, flavorful, and packed with pumpkin spice. They're also easy to make, so you can enjoy them any time you want. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack at home, these bars are sure to be a hit.
