Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs (room temp)
1 can(s) pumpkin (15 oz)
1 2/3 c sugar
1 c vegetable oil
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (I ALWAYS DOUBLE IT!)
1- 8 ounce pkg cream cheese softened
1/4 c butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 c powdered sugar

Steps:

1. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and set aside.
2. Beat sugar, pumpkin, oil, and eggs until well incorporated.
3. Gradually add dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Pour mixture into an ungreased 15x10x1 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
5. For the cream cheese frosting: Beat together butter, cream cheese, vanilla until incorporated. Gradually add powdered sugar, and taste as you go. I like my frosting a little less sweet so I end up using less than the full amount of powdered sugar. Once frosted, I garnish with cinnamon on top. Enjoy! (I died the frosting orange in the picture for Halloween and topped with fresh ground cinnamon)

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a much better flavor and texture than canned pumpkin puree. If you can, make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor or blender.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pumpkin bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the pumpkin bars in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
Let the pumpkin bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Store the pumpkin bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pumpkin bars for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin bars are the perfect fall treat. They are moist, flavorful, and have a delicious cream cheese frosting. They are also very easy to make, so they are perfect for busy weeknights. Whether you are looking for a snack, a dessert, or a breakfast treat, these pumpkin bars are sure to please everyone at your table.
