Amish Pumpkin Bars

Recipe Introduction


Posted on October 19, 2012 by Kevin, The Amish Cook Column. This is the season for pumpkin harvesting. Amish cooks use pumpkin pulp in a variety of ways: breads, rolls, pancakes, and brownies and bars. This is a really tasty pumpkin bar recipe that Rachel made last night and I’m enjoying still today. Most Amish cooks would use homegrown pumpkin, which is a bit lighter in color than the rich-brown/orange store-bought variety, but either can be used. The recipe is below. Yum!


List of Ingredients




1 cup oil
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
1 teaspoon soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe



Mix together ingredients until smooth consistency. Pour into greased 9x13" baking dish. Then bake at 350° for 22-28 minutes.

Frosting: Beat together 3/4 stick of oleo, 8 ounces of cream cheese and 2 cups powdered sugar. Beat until right consistency to spread. Add a little milk, if needed.

Note: the original recipe called for 3 ounces of cream cheese and 1 3/ 4 cup of powdered sugar, but this household likes a thicker frosting:) My vote is to go with the thicker frosting formulation because the cake/bar part is not very sweet at all.
