Pumpkin Bars Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Cake Bars frosted with a Cream Cheese Frosting are irresistible and super easy and quick to make!

It’s fall here in California.. at least that’s what I keep telling myself but this damn weather here is not letting up! 85! My lord! Anyways I had some leftover pumpkin from my Pumpkin Pie Bars and decided to make some more bars. Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting to be exact!

I recently watched a documentary Forks Over Knives and so I want to be more healthy…blah blah blah. Well, my idea of healthy is no added oils into the bars, I only used Chobani Greek Yogurt.

These bars were great as my sister put it ” A super, super, super amazing-ness piece heaven in your mouth”

They are so dense and moist. Almost like a pumpkin brownies spice moist bar. And there is no oil or butter in them!
