Quick Pumpkin Bars

Fall is finally here and so are pumpkins! So far we have had pumpkin waffles, pumpkin cookies and I will be making this gem of a recipe this next week. I usually double the Cream cheese frosting recipe, because it really is finger-lickin' good.

Quick Pumpkin Bars

1 c. Vegetable oil
4 Eggs
2 c. Sugar
2 c. Canned pumpkin
2 c. Flour
2 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Baking soda
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Salt
A dash of nutmeg
A dash of allspice

Combine the oil, eggs, and sugar in a large mixer bowl & beat until smooth. Beat in the pumpkin. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and mix well.

Spoon into an ungreased 10 x 15" baking pan. Bake @ 350 for 20-25 min. or until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Spread with Cream Cheese Frosting. Let stand until the frosting is set. Cut into bars. Store covered, in the refrigerator.

Cream Cheese Frosting

6 TB margarine, softened
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 c. Confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla extract

Cream the margarine & cream cheese in a mixer bowl until light. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk & vanilla & beat until fluffy.
