Ingredients

24 servings

For the bars

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
1 cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

For the frosting

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Ingredient note
Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 teaspoon per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two long sides.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly combined.
