Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz. pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

Frosting Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Add in dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour pumpkin mixture into greased baking sheet and spread evenly.
  • Transfer to oven and bake for 25-28 minutes until the top of the pumpkin bars are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and butter. Beat together until creamy and lump free.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low at first, then increase the speed and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Scrape the sides and add in vanilla and whip for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve that extra silky texture.
  • When pumpkin bars have cooled completely, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over top.
  • Serve warm, or refrigerate for an hour to let frosting set before enjoying chilled.
  • Enjoy!
