So this recipe is really similar to the Bourbon Pumpkin cake recipe I posted earlier. The big difference is no Bourbon. Still super moist and flavorful though. I modified the original recipe that this is based on. It called for a few ingredients I didn’t want to use and I substituted ones I did want to use. Easy enough. Enjoy.

Pumpkin Bars

• 4 large eggs, at room temp
• 1 2/3 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp pumpkin spice
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Icing

• 8 oz cream cheese, at room temp
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, at room temp
• 1 tsp real vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. whole milk

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 350°. Spay a 9″x13″ baking pan and line with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until smooth. Combine the flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder & soda, and salt. Gradually beat into the pumpkin mixture on low speed. Pout in to the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool. Once it’s cooled flip over onto a board or plate and remove the parchment. Flip it back into the baking pan.

For the icing, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and butter until smooth. Add in the vanilla and milk, beat until smooth again. Spread onto the bars, cut, and eat.
