Husband is not a fan of pumpkin but he gave me the green light to make these dessert and maybe, just maybe he'll like the way I made it. So my fingers are crossed and praying he not just like them but love them.
Here is the recipe followed by some yummy pictures.
Ingredients
FILLING
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
BATTER FOR BARS
1 cup canned solid pack pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking
soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped pecan pieces
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375° and spray a
9x13" baking pan with PAM or Baker's Joy. Set aside.
For filling, whisk together softened
cream cheese, sugar and egg. Mix with a hand mixer until well-blended and
smooth. Set aside.
For batter, combine pumpkin, sugar, egg and
oil in medium mixing bowl. Mix well.
Stir in flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking
powder, baking soda, & salt. Mix well to combine.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish,
and spread to cover bottom of pan.
Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over
the batter. Cut through the batter with a knife or spatula, to make a marbled
effect w/ the cream cheese mixture. Do this a second time, going in the
opposite direction [i.e., if you go side to side the first time, go up and down
the second time]. When doing the marbling, be cautious and don't let your knife
drag or touch the bottom of the baking dish.
Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
Bake 25 - 28 minutes, or until a cake
tester comes out clean.
Cool the entire pan of bars then cut
into squares.
And now a close up of these delicious treats!!!
