PUMPKIN BARS

1 15 oz can pumpkin puree

2 cup flour

1 ½ cup sugar

¾ cup oil

4 eggs

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp ginger

½ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp allspice

¼ tsp cloves

Cinnamon Browned Butter Frosting

½ cup butter

1 8oz pkg cream cheese

3 – 4 cups powdered sugar 

1 tsp cinnamon

Heat oven 350. In a small bowl combine flour, soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. In a another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, sugar and pumpkin and mix well. Add dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake about 30 minutes.

Now for the amazing frosting! In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Continue to let butter cook until golden brown and a light nutty aroma. Allow to cool. Once it’s about room temp, beat with cream cheese, cinnamon and powdered sugar and spread over cooled bars. Refrigerate for easier cutting.

Enjoy!

Warmly,
