Pumpkin-Pecan Squares With Cream Cheese Drizzle

"These easy, not-too-sweet bars are healthy & delicious! They store well and even taste better with a day in an air-tight container at room temperature. After that they'll stay tasty in the fridge for up to a week or for up to a month in the freezer."

directions

  • To prepare the bars, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 15 by 10 inch jelly roll pan with a non-stick spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, pie spice, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • With an electric beater at medium speed, beat the granulated sugar, butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in the pumpkin, carrot, egg substitute, and vanilla. Then gradually beat in the flour mixture.
  • Spread into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
  • To prepare the cream cheese drizzle: combine the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl. Transfer to a pastry bag with a round writing tip. When the bars are cool, drizzle the mixture over the bars. Sprinkle with the pecans, pressing them into the drizzle to help them adhere. Let stand 15 minutes to allow the drizzle to set, then cut into bars.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
