Recipe courtesy Patty Ronning as adapted by Paula Deen

Ingredients
Bars:
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
15-ounce can pumpkin
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Icing:
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin
until light and fluffy. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and
baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix at low speed
until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth. Spread the batter into a
greased 13 by 10-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before

frosting. Cut into bars.

To make the icing: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an
electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and mix at low speed until combined.
Stir in the vanilla and mix again. Spread on cooled pumpkin bars.
