2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 cup white sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup whole milk
½ cup cream cheese, softened
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor and a smoother texture than canned pumpkin puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the bars will make them dry.
  • 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 store the bars in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin bars with cream cheese filling are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a simple snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your pumpkin bars turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
