Absolutely irresistible. These bars have a deep, spiced flavor and a perfect crumb that stays incredibly moist. They aren’t overly sugary, which makes it far too easy to go back for seconds (or thirds). Plus, they hold up perfectly in the freezer for later!

In reply to Kenneth Burgett. The oil helps keep these bars moist, and I recommend using it instead of butter.

Can ghee or melted butter be used in place of the oil? Which would be the better option?
I’m giving the recipe 5 stars because it sounds so good and I plan on making it.

These came out amazing. I had to bake an extra bit because my oven needs that but absolutely perfect. Such great flavor and balance. I used the same half sheet pan you recommended because I already have them and they are the best.

Absolutely delicious! Wonderful pumpkin flavor and spices. I halved the recipe and baked in a 1/4 sheet pan – turned out great! Will be my go to pumpkin bar recipe.

I just made these for a snack at a morning nonprofit membership meeting. They were devoured and loved by all. Easy to make the day before and keep in the fridge.

These are delicious and so easy to make. Full flavor and silky texture. The icing is a little sweet for my taste but a great compliment to the cake.

Personally for be, this was the “ Recipe of the Year “ from Sarah. I’ve determined why I love this recipe, it’s because it’s spure pumpkin dessert perfection. There are no weird add ins or spice overload. It’s straight forward and PURE.

Thank you Sarah, although that doesn’t seem enough to convey, I will be recreating this for a lifetime.
