Pumpkin Bars with Nutella Buttercream Frosting

Can you believe it’s officially the first day of Fall?! Like, we’re almost through September and into October “Fall” …… I don’t know about y’all, but I just can’t seem to wrap my mind around how fast this year has gone by. Over the weekend, Brian actually asked me about the Christmas tree – and where I might want to put it this year since we’ve added more furniture to our house!!! I am soooo NOT ready to even think about that yet! #slowdowncowboy

Since temperatures are starting to cool off around most of the country, I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite Fall recipes with y’all – Pumpkin Bars with Nutella Buttercream Frosting! If you take a look around the internet right now, you can see that everybody has their mind on pumpkin or apple recipes – me included! Traditionally, Pumpkin Bars have a cream cheese frosting – and while that is ok, I much prefer a Nutella frosting. Everywhere I share these yummy bars, they’re a hit! I even had the kiddos take some of these yummy bars to our neighbor, Alyce! 🙂 I mean, how can you go wrong with pumpkin AND Nutella?! 

Originally I shared these yummy Pumpkin Bars with Nutella Buttercream Frosting over at Cooking on the Front Burner a few weeks ago, but brought them back over here to share with y’all! Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients 

For the Pumpkin Bars

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoons ground cloves
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 can pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling), 15 oz.
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

For the Nutella Buttercream Frosting

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup Nutella
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves. Add the eggs, pumpkin, and oil. Mix on medium speed with a hand mixer until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean. Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Once the bars have cooled, prepare the frosting by creaming the butter, Nutella, and milk in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the frosting is thoroughly combined and fluffy.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting over the cooled bars.
  • Cut into bars to serve.

Notes

  • You can also pair these with a traditional cream cheese frosting.
