Pumpkin Bars

Pumpkin bars covered with cream cheese frosting is best thing ever. They are filled with amazing spiced pumpkin flavor. These bars are soft and sturdy which pairs perfectly with the cream cheese frosting on top!

My son in law loves everything pumpkin! So when we have family dinner on Sunday, I try to find recipes that will make my family smile!

Topping Ideas for Pumpkin Bars

You can keep these pumpkin bars totally plain or even dust with powdered sugar. They are so moist and full of flavor that they are great without any topping! But I do love cream cheese frosting. You can also add toffee bits, nuts, or a big scoop of ice cream!

Pumpkin Bar Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and gently stir until well combined. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Frosting Directions

Beat the cream cheese and butter on high until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, vanilla, until smooth. Do not over-beat. Spread on top of completely cooled bars. Cut into bars.
