Paula Dean's Pumpkin Bars

[wowzer]

My daughter was having a Christmas party. I decided to try making a gluten free version of Paula Deans Pumpkin Bars. I was a little worried when I left, I had only seen one person try them. I did bring a couple of them home with me. My daughter called today and told me that everybody raved about them.

If she doesn't post the recipe, you can probably go to Paula Deen's site, get the recipe and then sub in some gluten-free flour, I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free All Purpose Flour.....and I back off a little on the amount of flour I use and add about 1 t. xanthun gum for each cup of flour, works really well. I use this for every recipe I get of have, works great. Barbara

She posted it in a new thread, it's on the second page of "Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking and Cooking Tips"

Here is her recipe:

This is what I did to make them:

4 eggs

1 2/3 cup sugar

1 cup oil

2 cups flour (I used white rice, brown rice and tapioca)

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 15 ounce can pumpkin

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking powder in a bowl. In another bowl mix the eggs until they are fluffy, add sugar, oil, and pumpkin. Mix well. Add dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Bake in an ungreased 9" x 13" nonstick pan and bake for about 30 minutes. I used a greased glass pan and had to bake them a little longer. Cool and frost. I used this cream cheese frosting recipe:

2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese softened

1 stick of butter softened

2 tablespoons half and half

2 cups confectioners sugar

Blend butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and half and half. Mix until fluffy and frost.

Enjoy!!

P. S. Sorry I took so long posting the recipe.
