  1. Delicious pumpkin bars. So moist and has great flavor. I made half a recipe to finish up a can of pumpkin and it worked great. I used a 9X9 and baked for 25 min.
     
  2. These were delish! However, I did notice that this recipe was very similar to Paula Deen's recipe I already had on file. Oh well, I still liked the modifications though.
     
  3. This is my second time making these using this recipe. I had used another recipe previously, but this one beats it hands down. It rises evenly and has a great moist flavour. Will be making again and again. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. This is definitly a 5 star recipe. These are soo moist and have the pefect taste! I will not ever make any other bar!! Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
     
  5. Wow this was good. We were impatient and couldn't wait for it to cool. We cooled it or about an hour then put the frosting on it. The cake was still warm. I to didn't have the big pan, used 13 x 9. It was a big hit. Thanks for a great recipe.

  1. Added 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/4 tsp cloves. I really love cloves with pumpkin.
     
  2. This recipe hit the spot! I'd been really hungry for pumpkin bars but had never made them, and these were super easy. I admit I stumbled a bit because it calls for 2 cups of pumpkin and a can is only 15 oz, but it worked great. I even subbed applesauce for half the oil, like other reviewers did, and they are wonderful. I cheated and used canned cream cheese frosting, so next time I'll try the frosting recipe, too. Thanks, Kim127!!
     
  3. These were wonderful .. very moist with great pumpkin flavor. I did substitute 1 cup of applesauce for the oil and did not frost them ... great "lighter" option that does not affect the taste or texture.
     
  4. I thought this was a nice tasting pumpkin bar/cake recipe. For ZWT, I reduced fat by using non-fat egg sub, applesauce in place of oil, and reduced fat cream cheese and replacing the butter with only 2 T and using skim milk. It sounds like a lot, but really those are basic subs you can do to almost any recipe with very little change to the final product. I did enjoy it and doubt that anyone will notice the missing fat. I will post my revised recipe. Thanks for a great starter!
