Categories     Bars

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 and 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full-sheet graham crackers)
1/2 cup (62g) chopped pecans
2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
5 Tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, melted
1 can (15-ounce; 425g) pure pumpkin*
1 cup (200g) light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
optional for topping: whipped cream and chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars from the pan. Set aside.
  • Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers (or crumbs) and pecans together into crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK. Add the sugar and melted butter and pulse until combined. Press tightly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking pan. Pre-bake crust for 12 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or simply using a whisk) beat/whisk all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour into warm crust.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly. Remove from the oven, set on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely. Once cool, cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. Remove chilled bars from the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. Bars are best served chilled.
  • Top with whipped cream and chopped pecans, if desired. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

THE BEST PUMPKIN BARS I'VE EVER HAD



The Best Pumpkin Bars I've Ever Had image

These are the best pumpkin bars I've ever had. They have incredible spiced pumpkin flavor and aren't quite as light and cakey as most other recipes I've tried. Instead, they're soft and sturdy which pairs perfectly with the spiced cream cheese frosting on top!

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil*
3 large eggs
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree*
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces (224g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups (360g) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/8 teaspoon salt
optional: sprinkles for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 10×15 inch baking pan. Or line the pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily lift the bars (as a whole) out.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl. Set aside. Whisk the oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin, and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a mixer or whisk until completely combined. Batter will be thick.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 28-35 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top or edges of the bars browning too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the bars from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely. (After about 45 minutes of cooling, you can place the bars in the refrigerator to speed things up!)
  • In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add confectioners' sugar, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add an extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar. Spread the frosting on the cooled bars. To help "set" the frosting, refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This makes cutting easier and less messy.
  • Enjoy with or without a fork, but definitely grab a napkin!
  • Cover leftover bars tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you skipped the frosting, cover and store plain pumpkin bars at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

These bars taste like a cross between pumpkin pie and pecan pie-yum! If you can't find butter cake mix, yellow cake mix works. -Sue Draheim, Waterford, Wisconsin
