THE BEST PUMPKIN BARS YOU WILL EVER EAT!

BAKE


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 12” x 18” or a Jelly Roll Pan (15” x 10”) pan with nonstick spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and the cake springs back when touched.




CREAM
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs
2 cups sugar


BLEND IN
1 15 oz can pumpkin (2 cups)




FOLD IN
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon

FROSTING
3 oz Cream Cheese
6 Tbsp Butter
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup Powder Sugar



SPRINKLE
with 1 cup Roasted, Chopped Walnuts ~ Roast at 400 for 7 minutes, cool, chop and sprinkle.

Do you really want to know the nutritionals?? See, not as bad as you think It honestly makes a HUGE platter of bars ~ depending on the size you cut them ~ 36 squares.

Okay, these are so rich, but with each bar under 200 calories, they make a wonderful holiday time snack while maintaining the FLFL program and living the DFL!!!

Enjoy!!!
