We even accidentally mixed the glaze into the batter and it still turned out terrific!!

Great recipe! I enjoyed eating this one. And my friends loved it too. The only thing i changed is that i used 2 cups of pumpkin puree instead of one and a pinch of salt. Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Great! So happy to find a recipe with much less oil. Actually, I didn't even have 1/2 c. oil (I used 1/3 c. and just added a little bit more pumpkin). Just a teensy weensy spongy, but covered in cream cheese frosting, DELISH! These were thinner than I like, so maybe I'd use a 9x9 pan. Didn't use raisins or maple glaze.

This recipe was so GOOOD and it was very easy to make, I made them as muffins and they turned out wonderful. I made them last night and brought to the office and even people who don't like pumpkin are loving them! Thanks for the great recipe

This tastes good but it's more like spice cake than pumpkin bars. It's disappointing if you are expecting a dense pumpkin dessert.

An excellent, easy recipe for pumpkin bars! I omitted the raisins just because I prefer them without, but I also did find out that the glaze tends to sink right into the bars if left covered overnight - so my advice is to wait until you're about to serve them to glaze them. I'll definitely make these again, they were a big hit!

Soo good! I love them! As most have already said, it is more like a cake than a bar. I used 1/2 cup walnuts instead of raisins and added some vanilla to my icing. Yummy! Thanks for sharing!

These were delicious. Definitely a cake-like consistency. The maple and powdered sugar glaze is well-worth making also. I forgot to add the raisins until it was in the oven. I'm sure that they would have made it even better. I just remembered, I did use 1/2 brown sugar and half whole wheat flour.9

I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. The reviews commented that it was more airy than your standard bar and had light pumpkin flavor; I like a lot of pumpkin so I used a whole can of pumpkin (about double what the recipe calls for) and compensated with an extra 1/4 c of flour and only half the amount of oil. The result: very dense and pumpkiny, very delicious. I also added 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/2 c of walnuts as recommended.
