Pumpkin Bars


I'm in the mood for fall and pumpkins just scream fall to me.  These pumpkin bars are delicious.

2 cups flour ( I like 1 cup white and 1 cup of grain of your choice. Wheat or Spelt work well)
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 cup oil
16 oz. can/ 2 cups pumpkin
4 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips on low speed until moist. Then beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour in greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 25 - 30 min. Cool completely before icing.


Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup softened butter
3 oz. softened cream cheese
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients together until smooth.
