Pumpkin bars also make a great breakfast or snack. They freeze well, and are a great addition to packed lunches! I don’t frost them – I think they look and taste complete without frosting. But if you want to try them with frosting, vanilla buttercream frosting works perfectly – you can keep it white or add orange food coloring to go with the “pumpkin” theme :)
These pumpkin bars are so easy to make, even the absolutely beginner can make them for sure! All you need to do is dump the ingredients in a bowl, mix with a mixer, pour in a baking dish and bake! I love one-bowl recipes – the less stuff to wash, the better! And if you don’t have a mixer, you can mix stuff with a fork, it will work well too! Once the pumpkin mixture is baked, just cut into squares. Enjoy these delicious pumpkin bars – I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do!
