Mmmmmmm.....Pumpkin.

October is definitely the time for all things Pumpkin! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice cupcakes, pumpkin cookies, and of course these babies.... Pumpkin bars!

I was visting my Aunt in Portland a few years ago and she introduced me to these little ditties. Needless to say, it was love at first bite. The bar itself isn't sweet, and then you add some cream cheese icing, & maybe a few cute little accents. AMAZING!

I apologize for the slightly blurry photo.... It's definitely time for a new camera. BUT to make up for the bad photography, here, let me share the recipe!

Pumpkin Bars

2 C. all purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

4 beaten eggs

1 16 ounce can of pumpkin

1 1/2 C. white sugar

1 C. cooking oil

1 tsp. salt

Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Combine eggs, pumpkin, sugar and oil. Beat until combined. Add dry ingredients and beat until combined. Spread batter in an ungreased 15X10X1" pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cool and cover with cream cheese frosting.

Cream cheese frosting

1 6 ounce or 8 ounce package of cream cheese

1/2 C. butter

Blend ingredients together until smooth. Add more icing sugar if you want it to be sweeter.

Package it all up cute & voila!
