I love baking all things pumpkin in the fall! Let’s be honest! I love EATING all things pumpkin in the fall but I love when it’s in the oven and my house starts to smell like amazing pumpkin goodness.  What is it that makes pumpkin goodies taste so good? I think it’s more than just the pumpkin. It’s the warm spices that we use to season the dishes.  That’s what I smell when I’m smelling the goodness that’s baking in my oven that I’m calling Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting!

These were so simple to make. I didn’t have to use the stand mixer and it all came together so fast and easy. This would be a great recipe to make with the kids. I just stirred it all together with a wooden spoon. Then I poured it into a baking dish and tossed it in the oven. Actually, if we’re still being honest it was more like I placed it gently into the oven.  OK. Now that I cleared the air we can move forward and enjoy these Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting guilt free. 🙂
