Pumpkin and egg up next.
Time for the egg 🙂
1 cup of pumpkin puree.
Cinnamon chips! These are so yummy. Keep an eye out at your grocery store, they seem easier to find around baking season. You can always order them on Amazon if you can’t find them.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter.
Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Top with lots of cinnamon and sugar then it’s time to bake! Enjoy!

Hi – I put a tsp of cinnamon in the batter. How much cinnamon gets mixed with the sugar in the last step?
Another teaspoon 🙂
Hi, I plan to make these bars this week; do you think I could substitute white chocolate chips (cheaper and easier to find) and extra cinnamon in place of the cinnamon chips?
Everybody loved these, and I’m making them again. They are more cake like than bars though. Really good!
We loved the taste of these but I did end up with more of a cake consistency than bar. Not sure why? My kids had no clue they were supposed to be bars though and want me to make them again at Thanksgiving!
These were delicious, but mine turned out more like regular cake than bars. I skipped the parchment paper, could that be why? Or perhaps they were overmixed in the stand mixer?
These sounded wonderful. Wanted to try, but could not print the recipe as suggested. Could you tell me what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks so much
These are totally calling my name. LOVE!!!
I should be tired of pumpkin by now but I just can’t quit!
Sooo good! I used my last bag of cinnamon chips a few weeks ago, so I omitted those 🙁
Also, for the cinnamon, I used 1/2 tsp. of Saigon Cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. of Roasted Saigon Cinnamon. Yum!!
This was SO EASY to make; I saw the recipe today and I already had everything in my pantry! Will definitely make again!
P.s. Even my husband had 2 squares and he is not a huge pumpkin lover! 🙂
I love how simple and delicious this recipe looks! Snickerdoodles are a new favorite of mine and I can’t wait to make this as a fall twist on an old classic 🙂
This looks so delectable and easy to make! Love 🙂
I also love simple desserts! I have added this to my menu plan for next week! They look delicious!!
Yum! What a great pumpkin recipe! I need to find some cinnamon chips!

I love how simple and delicious this is. You should really write a book – cooking and baking with kids. I love how easy this (and many other recipes of yours) is and it would be so fun to do with my little guy.
