You'll require:



Layer The Batter


Step 1: Pour batter into cake pans


Pour half the batter into the non-stick or lined and greased baking tins.

Notice I use 2 loaf tins, and that is because I save the other bar to freeze for later consumption. But please go ahead and pour it into a square or rectangular baking pan.



Step 2: Pumpkin


Now, gently spoon in a layer of the cooked and well drained pumpkin cubes.

For bars to be successful, the fruit must not be soggy and in this instance, we want to see the contrast of colors with the pumpkin and dark chocolate.

That's why we layer them at the end rather than mixing them through the batter for the bars.

Step 3: Top with more batter


Pour the rest of the bars batter into the baking pans.

Step 4: Bake


Hopefully, the oven's been preheated to 360F/180C. The air temperature in the oven needs to be evenly hot so that your pumpkin bars bake evenly.

Leave it to bake for 30 - 35 minutes.

The bars are ready when the inserted cake tester comes out clean.

Don't be tempted to leave it for just another few minutes as these delicious pumpkin bars are perfect if the center is just a wee bit undercooked.

Just look at the lovely juxtaposition of colors - bright orange and dark chocolate!

...and the lovely sharp angles of the cubes of pumpkin!

Arrange the bars beautifully on a lovely platter and serve.



This is an excellent recipe for freezing. The bars are just as delicious and gorgeous to look at when thawed.
