Love your site. Love making your recipes. Husband is gluten-free now. We are not. Wanted to make this recipe. Decided to try it gluten-free. I used Pillsbury gluten-free all purpose flour. The day it came out of the oven. It was yummy. Two days later it is still yummy and still moist. So if there’s any gluten-free people that want to try this, the Pillsbury best gluten-free all purpose flour blend worked for me. I didn’t change anything in your recipe other than the flour blend.

These bars are seriously so delicious! I realized I didn’t have white sugar after I started the baking process, so I improvised with a half cup of honey…and they still turned out perfectly! Thank you for the recipe! I will make again!

These are the BEST pumpkin bars! Yum. I made them twice this week. :) The recipe is really easy and they are full of delicious flavor. They are so perfectly moist and flavorful, I cheered. I would caution people to really watch their ovens though, because mine were done in half the time. It's always such fun to have a recipe be easy and turn out well. I can't wait to see what other recipes you have. Thank you so much.

One of my favorite recipes ever. So moist and delicious. I’ve made this recipe several times and every time it’s a perfect. 5 stars ⭐️

These pumpkin bars are fantastic!
I've made them several times over the years. Everyone adores these bars and the recipe is perfect, I never have to adjust or use substitutions in this recipe. These bars are cakey, have a perfect amount of spice, and come out right everytime. I absolutely make them every year, a few times, as they are easy and delicious enough where you don't even miss frosting as with other pumpkin bars. Try these, you won't be disappointed!

2nd time I have made them in as many weeks. I use regular sized chocolate chips. Regardless, these don't last because everyone gobbles them up!

I made this tonight for the first time. Major hit.

I used the Splenda/Sugar Blend for both granulated and brown sugar and sugar-free chocolate chips. These bars are delicious. Thanks!

I have been growing the BEST pie pumpkins!?Winter Luxury Pie Pumpkins
After I bake them, I purée and then put the purée in a fine sieve and let them drain for an hour or so. Lots of water drains and then I freeze for future use. Great to eat like squash or make desserts or soup etc.
Thank you for all your great recipes especially the pumpkin pancakes! Could eat them all day!
