Pumpkin Bar Recipe with Canned Pumpkin

So, why do I make this pumpkin bar recipe with canned pumpkin?  Well, the answer is simple, because all the hard work is done for me and canned pumpkin is canned fresh therefore making it a healthy option to bake with.

I went on a tour of a canning facility this past month where I learned all about canning foods and if it is just as healthy as fresh foods and the answer might surprise you.  Be sure to read all about my canning adventure to learn more.

If you have a pressure cooker you can make your own pumpkin puree, but I suggest taking some help from the store on this one and purchasing the canned pumpkin.  Speaking of the pressure cooker if you are a fan of yours like we are, check out our Instant Pot Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe for the best pumpkin cheesecake you have ever made at home.

    I would love to make these. Can I use stevia in place of the sugar? I’m looking to make them more weight watchers friendly. Thx, Ingrid

      I haven’t tried it but I have successfully used stevia in other recipes in place of sugar so I would assume that it will work. Please keep us updated.
