Pumpkin Bars - October 28, 2012

I'm not even sure where I got this recipe, but I've had it for a looooong time. It's a good one though, so I'm keeping it forever.

Pumpkin Bars

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda

Directions:
Mix the first 4 ingredients together and then sift the rest of the ingredients into the first mixture and mix until completely combined and there are no lumps. Pour into a greased & floured 12x18'' pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.

Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
3/4 stick of softened butter
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and milk together until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and at the consistency that you want. Frost the pumpkin bars with the frosting.

See how perfect that little bar came out? I just got a new baking toy from Pampered Chef. Their new brownie pans are super awesome and allow you to bake cakes, bars, breads, etc in little individual servings instead of in a huge pan where you then have to cut it. I can never cut bars, so this pan is my new BFF. :)

Husband Review:

He ate 6 of them one day... and I ate 4. Think we like them? ;)
