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!

Happy Tuesday!
