Hi hungry foodies in the recipe aisle! I’m so thrilled to share with you our featured recipe—irresistible pumpkin bars! These luscious treats are the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of fall.

To embark on this pumpkin adventure, we’ll need a cavalcade of delicious ingredients. Gather your all-purpose flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Don’t forget the stars of the show—pumpkin puree, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. And of course, we can’t leave out the luscious cream cheese frosting, which will be made with cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Preparing these pumpkin bars is a snap! Let’s get started by whisking together the pumpkin puree, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Now, it’s time to combine the wet and dry ingredients—pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Spread the batter evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.

While the pumpkin bars are baking, whip up the decadent cream cheese frosting. Simply beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Once the pumpkin bars are done baking, let them cool completely before spreading on the luscious cream cheese frosting. Feel free to sprinkle on some chopped nuts or a dusting of cinnamon for an extra touch of yumminess.

Let the pumpkin bars chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This will allow the frosting to set and the flavors to mingle and dance. These irresistible pumpkin bars are a symphony of fall flavors that will leave you begging for more!
