How to Make Frosted Pumpkin Spice Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 15x11-inch baking pan. Use a measuring cup with a flat bottom to create an even crust.
- Bake the crust for 6-8 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, and ½ cup vegetable oil. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Frost the cooled bars with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included).
- Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
