Pumpkin Bars

Ingredients

For the Bars
4 Eggs
16 oz. Can Pumpkin
1 Cup Oil
1 and ½ Cups Sugar
2 Cups Flour
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda
¼ Tsp Salt
2 Tsp Cinnamon
¼ Tsp Nutmeg
¼ Tsp Cloves
½ Tsp Ground Ginger

For the Frosting
4 TBS Browned Butter (melt in pan on stove until brown)
4 TBS Softened Butter
2 Oz. Cream Cheese
¼ Tsp Almond Extract
1 Tsp Vanilla
2 Tsp Milk
3 Cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Bars: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and spread batter on a lightly greased jelly roll pan (12X17 inch pan, 1 inch deep).
For more of a cake rather than bars, bake in a 9X13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. Let cool then frost.

Frosting: Cream all the ingredients together until fluffy. If it’s too thick, add milk 1/2 Tsp at a time until your desired consistency is reached. Put the frosting in a plastic bag with the corner cut off, and squeeze around the top of the entire pan of pumpkin bars. Take a butter knife and spread the frosting evenly.
