For years I have made pumpkin bars with canned pumpkin. They were good. However, when I began roasting pumpkin and baking with it my mind was changed forever. Below are directions for roasting pumpkin.

Ingredients

  • https://barbarasfrenz.com/2024/11/roasted-pumpkin/

  • 1 Cup Vegetable Oil

  • 1 1/2 Cups White Sugar

  • 4 Eggs

    2 Cups well drained Fresh Pumpkin (I used coffee filters to absorb the liquid from fresh pumpkin or a strainer)

  • 2 1/2 Cups Flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

  • 1 teaspoon Soda

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

  • Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz softened Cream Cheese

  • 1 stick of Butter (room temperature)

  • 2 teaspoons of Vanilla

  • C & H Powdered Sugar

  • Use a mixer to blend butter, cream cheese, and vanilla; continue adding powdered sugar, mixing well until the frosting comes to a peak.

Directions

  • Beat together oil, sugar, eggs till fluffy, then mix in pumpkin
  • Add all dry ingredients; stirring dry under the wet then mix until blended well
  • Spray jelly roll pan with Olive Oil then pour batter, spreading evenly
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35+ minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
