Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 cups Betty Crocker™ Gluten Free all-purpose rice flour blend
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 package (8 oz) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon fat-free (skim) milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, oil and pumpkin with whisk until smooth. Stir in flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Spread in pan.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and bars spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed until smooth and spreadable. If necessary, beat in milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency. Spread frosting over bars; refrigerate 30 minutes before cutting for frosting to set. Cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great! The only change I made was to use a different gluten-free flour blend, and they still turned out perfectly.
