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!!

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!
