Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 can (15 ounces) Pumpkin puree
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In another large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Beat the mixture until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing for the best texture.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
Step 7
While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth.
Step 8
Mix in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the powdered sugar. Beat until the frosting is fluffy and free of lumps.
Step 9
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled pumpkin bars.
Step 10
Cut the bars into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy!
