Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the bars are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until creamy.
-
Once the bars have cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
-
Allow the bars to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
