My favorite recipe for classic pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients
12 servings
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Mist a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda until combined.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet pumpkin mixture and stir until completely combined. (Try to avoid over-mixing.)
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and spread it out in an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bars comes out clean. Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting (see below) evenly on top of the bars. Then slice, serve and enjoy!
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until combined. Stir in the powdered sugar, add more until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
