Pumpkin Bars

Pumpkin Bars are a nice sweet treat to have around your home or to bring to a gathering so you won't over-indulge in other overly sweet, heavily processed desserts.
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook       Time: 30-40 minutes           Servings: 8 to 10 people

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, (no sugar added)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350˚ and grease an 8x8" pan. 2. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well until a smooth batter forms. 3. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm. 4. For the glaze, combine all the ingredients together in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. 5. Allow to cool completely in the pan before glazing.
