Pumpkin Bars

Description

My Mother used to always make these bars for Thanksgiving instead of the classic pumpkin pie. They were always my favorite. The cream cheese frosting is really what makes them awesome. Try this quick dessert recipe whenever you have company coming over, it will be sure to be a hit!

Bars:

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
15 oz. can of pumpkin puree
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon nutmeg

Frosting:

1/3 stick of butter
3 oz. cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin. Mix well. In another bowl, mix together your dry ingredients.

We haven't eaten them yet, but they smell wonderful. One thing, though. I have a fast oven and after the 20 minutes bake time called for, we had hot, raw batter in the pan. It took a full 35 minutes bake time in a 13 x 9 pan.
