Easy Pumpkin Bars with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
Basically, these pumpkin bars are amazing. They are easy. They are soft and super moist.
And they really might be the perfect fall treat, especially with that delectable whipped cream cheese frosting.
And now! Now, they can be made in a 9X13-inch pan, if that’s what you have on hand.
Sturdy enough to be eaten out of hand (just make sure there are napkins nearby), they also transition very well to simply being devoured as “pumpkin cake.”
I love a good versatile recipe.
