It’s pumpkin time -one of the best times of year! My ALL time favorite pumpkin dessert is pumpkin bars! However, they must be super moist and fluffy with rich cream cheese frosting. Don’t get me wrong… I love everything pumpkin but these bars just seem to beat them all.
The BEST pumpkin bar recipe
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 16 oz can pumpkin
- 2 cups flour sifted
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl beat eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until fluffy. In a medium sized bowl stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, soda, and spices. Add to pumpkin mixture. Spread in greased 15x10 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool.
- For frosting cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Frost on pumpkin bars.
Sift the flour… this makes the bars extra fluffy!

These sound awesome- almost bought a mix to make these at Wal Mart earlier today, and thought, “Bet they would be waaaay better homemade, just need to find a recipe.” Thanks for sharing!
Jamielyn

Thank you!!
Miranda
If I don’t have a sifter what else can I use?
Lori
Great recipe–thank you! Wish you had a “print” option for just the recipe–would be so handy. Other than that, great site. I enjoy your posts.

I agree with Lori. A “print” option for just the recipe is needed. I don’t need or want everything else that’s on the page. Your recipes are yummy!

Just cut and paste to a word document, then print the document. Easy as pumpkin bars!

We make pumpkin bars like this all the time for the holidays but I have never thought of adding the little pumpkin on top. What a fun and cute idea!

Thank you for this recipe! I was told that I had a really great pumpkin bar recipe years ago. In fact, I am fairly sure is one of the main reasons my husband asked me to marry him! Sadly, between the years, the moves and the kids, the recipe disappeared . I’ve been searching and tweaking and experimenting and then I found your wonderful site and you have a recipe that is very close to my old one! Woo-hoo!!! I now have a very happy hubby and I feel as though I found the Holy Grail! ;-) THANK YOU!!! (the kids aren’t complaining either!)
Eternally grateful,
Megan :-)

What kind of flour? Plain? All Purpose? Self Rising?
Jamie
Is a 16 oz can of pumpkin the same as using two cups? that might be a dumb question but I buy the huge cans and don’t want to use the wrong amount and ruin these!
