BUTTER (NOT OIL) PUMPKIN BARS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
As with my banana bread recipe, I truly dislike the standard "one cup of oil" which is so common. This uses a 1/2 cup of butter instead. Growing up on a farm where we made our own butter, cheese, etc., I'm somewhat of a butter fan!

Steps:
- I let the cream cheese soften on the counter for a while then I added it to my stand mixer & beat it with a couple of tablespoons of water until smooth. I just wanted it to thin out a little bit. In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix, pumpkin, water, & cinnamon together until it is smooth & well mixed. In a 9x13 pyrex dish- sprayed with PAM- add HALF of the cake -pumpkin mix. Then smooth it out with a rubber spatula. Drizzle half of the cream cheese over the top of it and take a small spatula to smooth it over the top. Add remaining cake-pumpkin mix & also the remaining cream cheese just making layers. Finally take a butter knife- stick it into the mix and go back & forth over the top of the cake making figure "8's" - to blend it a bit. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until filling is just set (the middle will still jiggle a little bit). Cool the bars in the pan and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving. 350
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your bars. Use fresh pumpkin, cream cheese, sugar, and spices. Avoid using store-bought pumpkin puree, as it often contains additives and preservatives.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Bars Until Set: The bars are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops of the bars should be firm, but the centers should still be slightly soft.
- Let the Bars Cool Completely Before Cutting: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin cream cheese bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. With a creamy, pumpkin-spiced filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust, these bars are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a sweet and festive treat, give these pumpkin cream cheese bars a try. Remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and follow the tips above for the best results.
