This is great! I used 1/2 oil and 1/2 cinnamon applesauce and I added some pumpkin pie spice too. I also used my favorite cream cheese frosting recipe for this instead. It was gone in 24 hours! Thanks!

These pumpkin bars were a big hit this holiday season. They stayed moist and they turned out to be very popular with party guests from Europe and the East, which was a happy surprise.

This was good...after a little tweeking. I added some nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. 30 minutes was not near long enough. It needed 20 more minutes. Also used less sugar for the frosting. Next time I would use only 2 cups.

I made this recipe for the first time today, and it was just OK. My husband expected a "stronger" pumpkin flavor. I've tried other pumpkin recipes from this site, but I think I'll stick to the pumpkin pie bread. Thats been a hit with my family.

This is a good recipe, but like other reviewers suggest, it is a cake, not a bar. The cooking time is incorrect also, it takes much longer than the time stated. I cooked mine for about 55 minutes and it turned out to be a really light fluffy cake. Also in addition to the 2 tsp cinnamon I added about 1/4 tsp cloves, some nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. The taste was great. Overall, we enjoyed it, it is tasty, just not a bar.

Use a jelly roll pan and bake at same temp/same time for a more "bar" like result. Still very moist and chewy this way. To make this a "finger food", cut into 2x2 squares to serve. I only had 2 eggs on hand and it didn't alter the recipe.

This is a great alternative to pumpkin pie, a nice way to keep up with the traditonal holiday pumpkin with a whole different flavor. Everyone loved it, including myself who doesnt even like pumpkin!

The most moist cake I have ever baked. Everyone loves it. Frost the cake and then cut in to bars. Too moist and soft to frost after you cut.

I absolutely LOVE these! I did not change the recipie at all. They have such a good flavor and you dont even need frosting(but I still like a good smear of it on top) They were very easy to make and my kids love to help out on this one!

I really liked this...it was more like a cake than bars. It was big and fluffy, and even more so with the cream cheese frosting. Everyone at Thanksgiving liked it. I had to increase my oven temperature by 25 degrees and bake an additional 20 minutes over the original recipe instructions but that didn't bother me. I also liked it because I already had all the ingredients in my pantry.

I first had these pumkin bars when I stopped in at an amish bakery in Northern Michigan, and my niece and I fell in love with these cookies. When I got home I searched the net for the recipe and found this one and it was just as sweet, we love 'em

This is a great recipe! My family has made this exact recipe for years. Co-workers can't wait for fall just so I will make these bars and bring them to work. I do not like pumpkin pie, put I love these bars and the frosting!

I've made these bars many times and every time I get asked for the recipe. It is more of a cake than a bar, but it is great just the same. Easy and scrumptious! Kristen

These were a big hit with my family. Easy to make using common ingredients. My oven cooks on the hot side, so I didnt have to adjust the bake time at all. I also made muffins from this recipe by reducing the bake time to 19 minutes.

I liked this recipe a lot because I had most of the ingredients already in my pantry, it was sooo easy to make and it tasted great! I had to cook it about 5 minutes longer than the recipe called for, but that's all. Also, I used Pillsbury cream cheese frosting instead of making my own. Tasted great!
