Pumpkin Bars

When our kids were young I always had them helping me in the kitchen. They loved watching and helping me bake cookies and dessert. Sometimes they would have to take turns pouring in the different ingredients, but it was a great learning experience for all our children.

Pumpkin Bars was one of the first recipes I taught my oldest son to make.. He loved making them. Every chance he could get, he would ask to make pumpkin bars. He made them so often that he knew the recipe by heart.

Now days he doesn't make them... But he still likes to eat them. :) 

Recipe for Pumpkin Bars:

4 eggs

1 2/3 c. sugar

1 c. oil

16 oz. can pumpkin

2 c. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. soda

Beat eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Spread in a greased 10X15 pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 350*. Let cool completely.

Frost with:

6 oz cream cheese 

1 c. butter

2 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients together well and spread over the cooled bars.
