Indulge in this Pumpkin Bars recipe! A true fall classic with moist, fluffy cinnamon-spiced cake & tangy cream cheese frosting. Pure autumn bliss.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin purée
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
For The Frosting:
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin purée until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Spread the batter evenly into an ungreased 15x10-inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl until creamy. Add milk as needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Once the bars are cool, spread the frosting over the top. Cut into squares and serve.
