It's Sunday, and I am in Heaven

Even though I am on a diet, I will sacrifice for my Gran. She made pumpkin bars. They are sooooo good.

Here is the recipe:

PUMPKIN BARS:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional, and I do not use them because I do not like walnut, but pecans taste great in here)


Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and sugar. Stir in beaten eggs, oil, and canned pumpkin until thoroughly combined. Stir in chopped walnuts. Spread batter into an ungreased 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan.

Bake in a 325*F oven for 30 minutes. Cool and frost with Cream Cheese Frosting, if desired. Cut into bars
Cream Cheese Frosting:
2 (3-ounce each) packages cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter OR margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Combine frosting ingredients in a small bowl; mix until well blended.

OK, so I have cut some to go to my MIL and I am going to freeze some, and the rest is Miss Hannah's. So, hopefully, I will not gain too much weight.
