There are a lot of recipes just likes paula deen's out there. For example, taste of home has one and the only difference is and extra tsp of cinnamon. for those of you having trouble with it being gooey in the middle. The taste of home recipe bakes in a 10x15x1 pan for 25-30 min. Its a bonus because you can feed more with the same recipe!!

These were soooo great. I used the batter for cupcakes and they were amazing. I brought them into work and everyone said they were the best ever. Thank you Paula for your amazing recipe.

Amazing!!! My favorite pumpkin recipe BY FAR. Super moist and a quick & easy dessert.
It's definitely more of a cake consistency but people rave about them every time I make them. If, for some reason, you don't think it's cooking all the way through I've found that putting foil on top so that it doesn't over brown works well.

The 30 minute timeframe is not long enough at all! After 30 minutes, it looked browned on the edges and done, so I took it out to cool overnight. In the morning, I found the cake had sunk and was more like pumpkin pie in the middle. I also thought it was strange that it only called for cinnamon, so I used 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. People said it tasted really good, despite the flaws in the baking. So if i ever make this again, I will know to bake it longer than it says.

the cake itself (because this really is more of a cake than "bars": not a bad start but with oly the cinnamon as flavoring I think it could have more spice in it. Next time I make this I will take the suggestiion of some previous posters and use pumpkin pie spice instead. And as a few posters noted here and there....it needs longer to cook than posted or it comes out soggy in the middle. Luckily I did test it first before pulling it out. Since the cake was a bit bland: the frosting was a bit "plain vanilla" for me. It was good vanilla...but since I thought the cake needed more spice and there wasn't anything I could do about the cake at that point...so plain vanilla wasn't enough. And I COULD jazz up the frosting at the end....so I doubled the vanilla, added 1/8 tsp each of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice. My daughter LOVED it and was scooping frosting by the spoonful out of the bowl.

The timer just went off, and I quickly remembered why I made this recipie ONLY ONCE before. This DOES NOT cook through! I now remember having to keep putting the timer on longer the last time I made it -- only to have the edges burn and the inside still raw. I'm glad my husband picked up an extra dessert for tonight. I was going to bring these pumpkin bars to our friends' house tonight....guess now I'm not!

Coming out of the oven this smelled wonderful. My daughter and I, fingers sticky with delicious frosting, waited in anticipation as this dessert cooled enough to frost. We spent 30+ minutes waiting; the house filling with the wonderful pumpkin aroma. After frosting it, the dessert sat as a beacon of after-dinner glory on our counter. Later- time for the wonderful-smelling pumpkin dessert to make its debut.
I cut into it, and my expectations plummet. My husband & I hate cake. We serve it up and each take up a forkful. My first bite confirmed it - this is a cake. Feeling that perhaps maybe the delicious-smelling pumpkin bar somehow fooled my texture sensory perception - I take another bite. Cake. Awful, sticky, moist cake which sticks to the roof of your mouth. My husband stopped at one bite. I stopped at two. The dogs ate our pieces (happily. The only silver lining is my daughter likes cake - so she can eat it.
