Pumpkin Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Lightly grease multi-cavity mini loaf pan (or 9”x 13” baking dish).

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients and whisk together until fully mixed.

Step 4

Whisk flour mixture into pumpkin mixture.

Step 5

Pour 1/3 cup of the batter evenly into each cavity of the prepared loaf pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bars (testing a couple of the bars in the center of the loaf pan is best).

Step 6

Slightly cool bars, about 15 to 20 minutes, before transferring them to a cooling rack to completely cool.

Step 7

Frost tops of each bar with cream cheese frosting, finish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and serve.
