Pumpkin Overload

I took a quick peek in my pantry on Friday and I counted 6, yep 6 cans of pumpkin pie filling and pumpkin puree!  

I had bought a few more cans on a whim at the store the other day, not realizing I already had 3 cans leftover from last year.  (Just one more reason why I love online grocery ordering/pickup…  It helps me avoid duplicating items I already have and all those “on a whim” purchases!)

With all that pumpkin on hand, I figured I better get busy and bake somethin’ with pumpkin!

Sunday is my favorite day to bake goodies.  We eat what we want and then on Monday morning, I’ll send the leftovers with my hubby to his office.  (By about 3:30 in the afternoon, I’m usually regretting that decision to get rid of the leftovers, but it’s really better for everyone that way, lol.)

This recipe for Easy Pumpkin Pie Cake bars was a hit with everyone! 

They are amazing! The bars are moist, delicious and so easy to make – such a fabulous sweet treat for fall.

Just the scent of the pumpkin bars baking in the oven was pretty much driving the kids wild and I was having trouble keeping them from opening the oven every 5 minutes.  (Even better, the smell of pumpkin and cake baking enabled me to squeeze a few extra whine-free chores out of the kids. They had to earn that cake, lol!)

  1. Hi Jamie, what size cake mix did you use? I see a lot of different sizes on the shelf, 9oz, 16.5 oz, . Also is there a specific type of mix? There’s instant where you just add water and egg, others need oil or fat added or does that make a difference? Thank you!

    1. anything from 15.25 to 16.25 will work.

    Hi Jamie. Jan from New Plymouth, New Zealand here. I do love your ideas & patterns. We have a 7 year old granddaughter and her brother is 10. I have made Bianca a purple satin nightie from your shift dress pattern and she just loves it! Ben loves pumpkin and I want to make your bar. Please tell me what a stick of butter weighs. Thank you for all you do!!XX

    1. Thank you! A stick of butter equals 8 tablespoons.
      ~Jamie

      1. Jan Randle asked what a stick weighs. There are 4 sticks in a pound of butter so one stick would weigh 4 ounces.

      2. thank you

    1. Just fyi, it’s pumpkin pie filling, not puree and i used a 15 oz can.
