]]> Pumpkin bars are a great balance between cozy and classy. This is a great for beginner bakers because it’s a straightforward recipe with simple pantry ingredients and a delicious secret weapon, canned pumpkin puree. The pumpkin base infused with cinnamon pairs perfectly with the tangy sweetness of cream cheese frosting.

Elevate Your Pumpkin Bars with Spices

Cinnamon is a must in the winning combo of pumpkin and spice, but why stop there?

Consider adding:

  • Nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon for a warm nutty spice that screams fall
  • Clove: a pinch to add a a sweet spicy flavor
  • Ginger: 1 teaspoon for a subtle kick

Quick Tips

  1. Use Pumpkin Puree, not Pumpkin Pie Filling, double check the label.
  2. Don’t overmix, stir until just combined to avoid dense or tough bars.
  3. Line the pan with Parchment Paper for easy removal and clean up.
  4. Cool Completely Before Frosting, warm bars will melt your frosting.

Pumpkin bars are a perfect fall treat for a festive gathering but you can make them for a cozy night any time of year. If you like this recipe, try my fan favorite 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

]]> If you want to feel fancy with barely any work, try your hand at these Honey Cinnamon Baked Pears. I love this simple recipe because it’s 3 of my favorite things:

  1. Easy ✔
  2. Delicious ✔
  3. In season ✔

Pears are naturally sweet, so if you want a delicious desert but are trying to pare down on sugar, this one is for you. On the other hand, you can pair it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

This recipe is very versatile. It can be served hot or cold. You can add more cinnamon or try adding a pinch of nutmeg. You could even swap out the honey for maple syrup. Play with the ingredients you love! Oh and there’s no need to peel the pears!
