Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups Brianas Baking Mix
• 1 T baking powder
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• ½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. cloves
• ¼ tsp. + 2 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (most people will probably want to add a teaspoon or two of THM Super Sweet Blend in addition to this, but just the stevia was perfect for me)
• -
• 1 15-oz. can plain canned pumpkin puree
• ¾ cup salted butter, melted
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup egg whites
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 8 oz. reduced fat (or full fat) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (or an additional 4 oz. cream cheese, for a richer frosting)
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 T THM Gentle Sweet, or more to taste (I also like using ⅛ tsp. THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder in place of the Gentle Sweet)

Directions

• For the bars, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well. Spread the batter into a greased 9x13 inch glass baking pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 26-28 minutes. Let the bars cool completely on the counter before frosting.
• For the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the other ingredients and beat again until thick and stiff-ish, about 30-40 seconds.
• When the bars are cool, frost them and put them in the refrigerator to chill completely before cutting. Store in the refrigerator. These bars are best cold. Yields 15 servings.
