These pumpkin bars are tender and delicious, topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. The recipe features a makeover with less sugar and olive oil instead of vegetable oil, making it an ultimate fall treat.
1: Preheat the oven to 350°.
2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, sugar, pumpkin purée, and maple syrup until smooth.
3: Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
4: Fold it all in until the batter is smooth and shiny.
5: Pour into a parchment lined 9x13 baking dish.
6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cake is cooked through.
7: While the cake cooks, make the frosting by mixing all ingredients together until light and fluffy.
8: Frost the cake once it has cooled completely.
9: Use store-bought orange frosting to pipe tiny circles all over the cake as pumpkins.
10: Top with a tiny sprinkle as its stem.
11: ENJOY!!
