This is my newest favorite Pumpkin Bar! Better than pumpkin pie!

There’s no need to choose fresh to get the benefits of pumpkin. One cup of canned pumpkin has seven grams of fiber and three grams of protein, which is even more than a fresh pumpkin. Also, it only contains 80 calories and just one gram of fat. So there is no need to fret when you are enjoying that wonderful piece of pumpkin cheesecake bar, it’s delicious and healthy for you!

Pumpkin is so healthy and full of vitamins. It is actually one of the most nutritious foods out there. These gourds aren’t just for carving, they are loaded with antioxidants and disease-fighting vitamins! But what I love most is that pumpkins are for delicious eating!

The perfect amount of pumpkin spice for this easy and delicious cheesecake bar!

In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Set aside.

Mix until blended.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.

In another large bowl, mix together butter and brown sugar, until smooth.

Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mix again.

Stir in pumpkin puree.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Take the cheesecake mixture and drop by spoonfuls into the pumpkin.

Drop the remaining pumpkin mixture by spoonfuls over the cheesecake.

Take a toothpick or a butter knife and gently swirl the cheesecake mixture and the pumpkin, careful not to over mix the two.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pumpkin is cakey and the cheesecake mixture has set.

Allow to cool, and enjoy!
