Now that fall is officially here, it’s time to start some of those seasonal dessert recipes rolling! For all of you pumpkin lovers, here’s a dessert in bar form that makes a lot but also delivers in moist, delicious pumpkin-ness! The cream cheese frosting is literally the icing on the cake that adds the perfect creaminess. Add a cup of coffee or a glass of milk and you have the perfect fall dessert!
This makes 2 9×13″ pans, so you’ll be able to feed that crowd that is coming to your house this season!
Pumpkin Bars
2 Cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
1 cup nuts, chopped
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or 1/4 tsp each, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and nutmeg
Frosting:
6 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 Tb. cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
Mix all ingredients for bars. Pour into two greased and floured 9 x 13 pans and bake at 350 degrees 20-25 minutes.
To make frosting, mix cream cheese and butter. Combine with other ingredients and mix well. Frost cooled bars.
Happy Pumpkin Monday!
