Mama Beege's Pumpkin Bars

Fall brings on the best food in the Cass home. I tend to go in soup, baking, crockpot overload once September hits Minnesota! A Cass fav is my mom's recipe for pumpkin bars! They are devine! Cream cheese frosting and pumpkin.....need I say more? Today, I am sharing with you the amazing recipe! I make this every couple of weeks for our youth kids this time of year! I don't trust myself making them for us just my family. I need the help from others to eat these bad boys! YUM!

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a jelly roll pan for the bars.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 c. oil (I use whatever I have on hand)

2 c. sugar ( I have halved the sugar/ 1 part white and 1 part brown)

1 15 oz can of pumpkin

2 c. flour (you can use whole wheat or white)

2 t. baking powder

1 t. baking soda

2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. ginger

1/2 t. clove

1/2 t. nutmeg (the seasonings make these bars!) 

bake for 25-30 min

Frosting: 

8 oz cream cheese 

3/4 stick of butter (unsalted) 

---I put out the cream cheese and butter at room temp---

4 c. of powdered sugar 

1 T. milk (I use almond milk)

Frost the bars at room temp! One thing that you can do is sprinkle/sift on cinnamon to the top of the frosting! It looks and tastes pretty. 

Welcome to the best fall treat ever!
