Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives pumpkin bars a more intense flavor and texture than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the pumpkin 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 this recipe. If you use a smaller or larger pan, the bars will be too thick or too thin.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the bars are done baking. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the bars need to bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the bars cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin bars are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for potlucks, bake sales, or just enjoying at home with your family. With their moist texture, rich pumpkin flavor, and creamy frosting, these bars are sure to be a hit.
