Recipe: Pumpkin Bars

Yesterday was recipe Sunday but I had a HUGE project due today and could not bring myself to post the recipe late last night so I am bringing you the recipe today. I have some great OOTD's coming up so stay tuned for that. This family recipe for pumpkin bars is literally the definition of fall in a dessert. These bars are so moist, sweet and AMAZING. I made these Sunday for a church bake sale and they were very popular. I want everyone to make these this fall because I think you will love them as much as I do, Enjoy ;) 

Ingredients (cake): 

4 eggs 

1 2/3 cups of sugar

2 teaspoons of baking powder 

2 teaspoons of cinnamon 

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of baking soda 

Ingredients (frosting):  

8 ounces of softened cream cheese 

1 stick of softened butter

Step 2: Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda to the pumpkin mixture and mix until combined. 

Step 3: Spread batter into a cookie sheet with a lip on it or in a jell roll pan. Do NOT grease the pan.
