With fall in the air and today being it's first official day, I thought I would post this. It is a recipe I found in one of my cookbooks a few years ago and I make them a TON in the fall. They seem to be a winner and people always ask me for the recipe. WARNING: They are addicting!
Pumpkin Bars
2 c all purpose flour
2 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
1 c oil (could probably substitute applesauce but haven't tried it YET)
1 16 oz can of pumpkin (2 cups)
4 eggs
1/2 c chopped nuts (optional - I haven't added)
1/2 c raisins (optional - I haven't added)
Frosting (This is what makes it good!)
2 c powdered sugar
1/3 c butter softened
1 3 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
Heat oven to 350. Grease 15x10x1 inch baking pan. (I don't have one of these so I divide it up between a 9x13 and an 8x8.) In large bowl, combine all bar ingredients except nuts and raisins. Beat at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Stir in nuts and raisins. Pour into greased pan.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine all frosting ingredient; beat until smooth. Frost cooled bars. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator. (They taste super yummy cold. Too good!)
Enjoy!
