Pumpkin Bars

I'm going to post all my Thanksgiving recipes so I'm not searching all over on Thanksgiving morning! Here's another great recipe from MSPI Mama! LP insists that a party just isn't a party unless you have cake! We had a Husker party a few weeks ago, and thank God I had some leftover chocolate cake...it would have been a nightmare otherwise! I'm planning on trying my hand at decorating the cake! We'll see how that works out! :)


Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
15-ounce can pumpkin
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1-2 cans MSPI-friendly cream cheese frosting, such as Pillsbury

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth. Spread the batter into a greased jelly roll baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until done.

Let cool completely before frosting. Cut into bars

***OH MY GOODNESS!! These were SO good, and they are SO gone already! So moist and had the perfect pumpkin taste! I can't wait to make another batch!
