A Few Tips on Baking Pumpkin Bars

A few tips on baking pumpkin bars

1.) When testing to see if the pumpkin bars are done baking I use a cake tester to check if the bars are baked evenly.

2.) I used a gluten free cooking spray on the baking pan.

3.) I used a baking pan that is 1 inch in height, if you use less it’s okay but the pumpkin bars will be a little thinner.

4.) The pumpkin bars are delicious when frosted with a cream cheese frosting or just sprinkled with a little powder sugar.

5.) Adding chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts to the top of the pumpkin bar are also delicious.

These pumpkin bars bake up so moist and are almost like a pumpkin cake. We just ate our pumpkin bars right out of the little liners.
