Morning everyone!
It's a bright and sunny, but cool, morning here in the Finger Lakes region of New York State! Sure was chilly last night...so much so that I did it.....yup....I turned on the furnace to take the chill off inside!
This past weekend when we had a house full of company, I made these Pumpkin Bars. They are quick and easy and calorie free (okay...maybe not calorie free). I got the recipe from a gal at church who made them every Fall for our Sunday coffee hours. They are moist and delish!
Coffee Hour Pumpkin Bars
Bars:
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
15-ounce can pumpkin
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Icing:
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
15-ounce can pumpkin
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Icing:
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. In a
separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt
and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix
at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth. Spread
the batter into a greased sided cookie sheet pan (jelly roll pan). Bake at 350 degrees
for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
To make the icing:
Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl and beat until smooth. Add the sugar slowly until combined. Mix in the vanilla and spread on cooled pumpkin bars. Store them in the fridge.

Enjoy!
Remember yesterday when I was showing you the big egg from this past weekend, well.....went out after I made my post to collect the eggs and this HUGE one was waiting! It's even bigger than the last. I'm not sure which hen is laying these ostrich eggs...perhaps it's the one that walks kinda funny - OUCH!
