The Best Pumpkin Bars Ive Ever Had Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch baking dish. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.
• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the white sugar, canola oil, and pumpkin puree until no lumps of pumpkin puree remain. Stir in the carrots and pineapple, then fold in the flour mixture until no lumps of flour remain. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
• While the pumpkin bars are cooling, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Frost the cooled bars with the cream cheese frosting.

Steps:

• Set oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl cream together vegetable oil and granulated sugar.
• Beat eggs into creamed mixture.
• Add the canned pumpkin to oil, sugar and egg mixture.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt and add to pumpkin mixture. Mix just until all dry ingredients are incorporated into pumpkin mixture.
• Spread batter into greased and floured 15 in. x 11 1/2 x 1 in. pan (or 1/2 sheet sized cake pan) Recipe needs this size pan, or it won't get done.
• Bake for 30 minutes OR until cake pulls away slightly from edges of pan and springs back when surface is touched, OR when tooth-pick inserted into center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs adhering to tooth-pick.
• Cool cake on wire rack While cake is cooling, make frosting
• Cream Cheese Frosting: 1) Cream together: 8 oz. cream cheese - softened to room temperature 1 stick real butter - softened to room temperature 2) Mix in: 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract 4 cups sifted powdered sugar Mix until all powdered sugar is incorporated into cream cheese, butter mixture and frosting is creamy and spreadable.
• Spread frosting upon completely cooled cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 10x15 inch baking pan. (I use butter wrappers to grease pan).
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk the oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin, and vanilla extract together until combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a mixer or a whisk until completely combined. Batter will be thick.
• Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 28 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the bars from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely.
• Make the frosting: In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add confectioners' sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie space, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for two minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add an extra 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar. Spread the frosting on the cooled bars. This will help set the frosting. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This makes cutting easier and less messy.
