Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 29 oz Pumpkin Puree ((canned pumpkin))
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 tsp salt (if a hint of saltiness is a good thing to you, definitely add 2 tsp)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (brick, not tub style cream cheese)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp heavy cream (milk or half and half can be used)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, eggs and oil with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt to the wet ingredients and mix by hand until just combined.
  • Pour batter into a 9x13" baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. Bars should be starting to set up, but remember this is more like a brownie than a cake, it should seem a bit undercooked in the center, but not still be wet.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
