These tender, tasty cakelike bars are a welcome treat! A store-bought mix speeds assembly, and the from-scratch cream cheese frosting is heavenly. Best of all, they easily feed a bunch. âEsther Thys, Belle Plaine, Iowa Ingredients:
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 cups biscuit/baking mix |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup raisins |
cream cheese frosting: |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup butter, softened |
1 tablespoon 2% milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Beat the pumpkin, sugar, eggs and oil in a large bowl. Combine biscuit mix and cinnamon; gradually add to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Stir in raisins.
2. Pour into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
