Ingredients

Bar Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 15 oz Pumpkin canned pure pumpkin not pie filling
  • 1 ⅔ cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar Icing Sugar for my Canadian friends
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 350 Fahrenheit
  • Let butter and cream cheese sit out to warm to room temperature (cut into small pieces and it will warm up faster) You want to do this so that it mixes better and you don't have butter or cream cheese lumps.
  • Combine all Pumpkin Bar ingredients in one bowl. I recommend using a mixer. It's easy to do with your stand mixer but I've done this easily with my hand mixer. Mix until well combined.
  • Spread batter on a greased 17 x 11 inch(ish) cake roll pan.
  • Bake at 350 for approx. 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick to test if done.
  • Set aside and let the bar base cool.

To make Cream Cheese Icing

  • Add all cream cheese icing ingredients into a bowl.
  • Beat until mixture is smooth.
  • Wait for baked pumpkin bars to cool prior to adding frosting.

Notes

Bars can be refrigerated up to 5 days.
Freeze well when well wrapped with plastic wrap.
