Ingredients

Pumpkin Bars

  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 cups Sugar, granulated
  • 1 cup Vegetable or Coconut Oil
  • 15 oz Pumpkin
  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon, ground
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 3 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease the bottoms and sides of a 15x10-inch pan or a 9x13-inch pan with shortening.

  • Stir in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger and cloves.
  • Pour the batter into your cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool bars completely while still in the pan. It will take approximately 2 hours.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add in the confectioner's sugar, one cup at a time, until smooth and spreadable.
  • When completely cool, frost the bars and garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon.
