Ingredients
FOR THE BARS:
- 4 egg large
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 can pumpkin 15 ounce, puree
- ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FOR THE FROSTING:
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup butter softened (divided, unsalted, plus 2 Tbsp
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 24 pecan halves
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin and melted butter until smooth. Add remaining ingredients for the pumpkin bars and beat for 2-3 minutes until fully combined.
- Pour batter into a lightly greased 15x10x1inch baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove and cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, combined brown sugar, 2 Tbsp butter and milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter with powdered sugar. Pour in COOLED brown sugar mixture. Beat for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Fold in chopped pecans.
- Spread over cooled pumpkin bars. Press pecan halves gently into top of bars. Cut and store in airtight container in refrigerator. Or, freeze until ready to use.
Notes
- Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Due to the high sugar content and nature of the frosting, I highly recommend refrigerating pumpkin bars after baking and frosting them.
- Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are amazing. Use my favorite frosting recipe that’s included in my banana cake recipe.
- For these pumpkin bars, substitute the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for 2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
