Instructions
To make the bars:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper or grease the pan with butter.
- Add the pumpkin, eggs, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl and use a hand mixer or whisk to mix together until well combined.
- Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the pan comes out clean. Tent with foil halfway through baking if the edges are getting too browned.
- Cool bars completely on the counter before frosting.
To make the frosting:
- Beat together the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and continue mixing for 2-3 minutes or until frosting is thick and creamy.
- Spread the frosting on the cooled bars.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Be sure to use pure pumpkin and not pie filling. Pie filling has other ingredients added and will not work in this recipe.
- We like to top these pumpkin bars with the little candy corn pumpkins. You could also top them with a pecan half on each piece.
