GOOEY OATMEAL PUMPKIN BARS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Today my hubby had a huge exam for his Masters' course, so I decided to bake him something special.
I wanted to make something with the homemade pumpkin puree that I made over the weekend.  This is what I decided to do.  My bars are gooey because there are not any eggs in the recipe.
Recipe adapted from Lovin from the Oven's Pumpkin Bars.


Gooey Oatmeal Pumpkin Bars

1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1/3 cup sugar in the raw
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
2/3 cup fat free greek yogurt
1/4 cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F or 170C.
Spray a medium-size baking pan with nonstick coating.
Combine flour, oats , sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt in a medium bowl.
Stir in pumpkin, yogurt, and water until thoroughly combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan.
Spread frosting on top and DIG IN!

Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 cup 50% fat philly cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar (put more if you want your frosting sweeter)
