How to Make Hays Family Pumpkin Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pumpkin bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled pumpkin bars.
- Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
