Apple Cinnamon Pumpkin Bars

APPLE CINNAMON PUMPKIN BARS
Makes 9 servings
1 serving = 2 PointsPlus™

1 TBSP vegetable oil
One 15.3 ounce box of Fiber One Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling!!!)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute

Topping: 3 ounces fat-free cream cheese
               1/4 cup powdered sugar
               1 tsp fat-free skim milk
               1/2 tsp vanilla extract
               1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spray bottom ONLY of 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.

In medium bowl stir muffin mix, pumpkin, water, oil & egg substitute just until blended (batter may be lumpy). Spread in pan.

Bake 17 - 21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool completely, about 1 hour.

TOPPING:  In small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk & vanilla until sooth; drizzle over bars. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Cut into 9 pieces and ENJOY!!!!!

NOTE: You can add 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice to enhance the pumpkin flavor.

MY SPIN. I'm not a major fan of icing so I didn't make the topping. I did, however, put the chopped walnuts on the batter before baking. Either way you choose to do it, it's still only 2 PointsPlus™ per serving!! And I did add the pumpkin pie spice  This is truly easy and has that awesome YUM factor!

Now for the 'legal mumbo-jumbo' to keep me out of court! *The PointsPlus™ value for this recipe was calculated by me (Jan Gomes) and is not an endorsement or approval of this recipe by Weight Watchers International, Inc., the owner of the PointsPlus™ registered trademark.*

Later!
Loving Life(time)!
