LOW-FAT PUMPKIN SWIRL BARS (OR CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare pan - either a 10x15 jelly roll (for bars) or a 9x13 (for cake). I like to line my pans with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, spice, baking powder and soda in a bowl. Set aside.
• In a mixer, combine sugar, brown sugar and softened butter. Add pumpkin, and then eggs and whites. Add flour mixture; mix well. Spread into prepared pan.

• Bake according to your pan size: 10x15 pan 25-30 minutes, 9x13 pan 35 minutes. Test with a knife (better than a toothpick test) to make sure the bars are completely done and not under-baked. I watch for the cake to puff up all over, even creating little cracks on the top, as an indicator that it is thoroughly baked. Under-baked bars get gummy.

7-LAYER PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, mix the spice cake mix, one stick of softened butter, and one egg together with a hand mixer until it comes together in a stiff dough, almost like cookie dough.
• Pat the spice cake mixture evenly into the pan and bake it for 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice together until smooth.
• Pour the pumpkin sweetened condensed milk mixture over the spice cake layer.
• Add the layers of nuts, chocolate chips, cranberries, and coconut in this order: 1. 1 cup of pecans2. 1/2 cup dried cranberries3. 1/2 cup white chocolate chips4. 2 cups coconut5. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• Lightly press the coconut layer down into the sweetened condensed milk. This will help all the ingredients to adhere together during baking - especially that top layer of dark chocolate chips.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the coconut is brown and the center is firm, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 170-200, depending on how gooey you want your bars. If you want gooeyness in the center, opt for closer to 170. If you like a more well-done bar, go closer to 200.
• Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. They are exceptional when warm - and still gooey and delicious when cool.
