Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh Pumpkin: If possible, use fresh pumpkin purée for the best flavor. You can also use canned pumpkin purée, but make sure it is unsweetened.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Bars Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bars are cooked through.
  • Let the Bars Cool Completely Before Frosting Them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These spiced pumpkin bars with cream cheese icing are the perfect fall treat. They are moist, flavorful, and have the perfect amount of sweetness.
