Pumpkin Bars

Pumpkin Bars
from Tina

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 beaten eggs
1 16-oz can pumpkin
1 cup cooking oil (I use applesauce instead)

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in eggs, pumpkin and cooking oil (or applesauce instead) until thoroughly combined.

Spread batter into a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan, coated with cooking spray. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Then top with cream cheese frosting and cut into bars.

Here's the recipe for the frosting:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup softened margarine or butter
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 cups powdered sugar
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, margarine or butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well. You may need to add a little water to get it to the right smooth consistency.
