Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). |
| 2 | Grease a jelly roll pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. |
| 3 | In a large mixing bowl, beat together sugar, canned pumpkin, eggs, and vegetable oil using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute until well combined and slightly fluffy. |
| 4 | Stir in Bisquick mix, ground cinnamon, and raisins until just incorporated into the batter. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture. |
| 5 | Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. |
| 6 | Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that the bars are fully cooked. |
| 7 | Allow the pumpkin bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting. |
| 8 | Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a separate mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. |
| 9 | Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined and the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. |
| 10 | Once the pumpkin bars are cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top using a spatula or frosting knife. |
| 11 | Cut the frosted pumpkin bars into individual servings using a sharp knife. |
| 12 | Serve and enjoy these delectable Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting as a delightful treat for any occasion! |
