Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined. Mix in the vegetable oil and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
For best results, make sure the bars are fully cooled before adding the frosting. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
