Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin puree until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until well combined.
  5. Pour batter into an ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. While bars bake, prepare frosting: beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and beat until frosting is fluffy.
  9. Allow bars to cool completely in pan on a wire rack before spreading frosting evenly over the top.
  10. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

For best results, ensure the bars are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting. You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
