Ingredients

Pumpkin Bars

  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 2/3 Cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Cup vegetable oil
  • 1 15 ounce can pure pumpkin not filling

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened at room temp
  • 12 Tablespoons butter softened at room temp
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons milk more if needed
  • 6 cups powdered sugar unsifted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until fluffy. Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda) to pumpkin mixture until fully combined.
  • Spread batter in a greased 17x12 jelly roll pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
  • Cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and milk on medium speed. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each addition until frosting is smooth. Add a bit more milk if icing is too thick. Icing should be thick, but spreadable.
  • Spread icing over cooled bars.
