Hello friends! 🍂 Fall is one of my favorite times to bake. There’s just something about the smell of pumpkin and spice drifting through the kitchen that makes a chilly day feel warm and inviting. Around here, we lean on simple, cozy recipes that don’t take all day but still bring everyone to the table with smiles. These Spiced Pumpkin Bars are one of those recipes—a perfect balance of moist pumpkin cake and creamy frosting.
What makes them extra special is that we use my homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice blend instead of just cinnamon. It’s a simple mix I always keep on hand for fall baking, and it brings out the richness of the pumpkin while adding those nostalgic fall flavors we love.

Whether you’re baking for a family gathering, a church event, or just a cozy night in, these bars are the kind of treat that feel like fall in every bite.
One of my favorite things about these pumpkin bars is how versatile they are. You can make them for a family movie night, a church gathering, or even as a thoughtful gift for a friend who needs a little encouragement. If you’ve got pecans on hand, sprinkle them in or on top for a little crunch. And if not, don’t worry—they’re just as delicious without.
Around here, I love to pair them with mugs of hot cocoa or spiced tea while we curl up under blankets and watch football or a family movie. It’s the simple traditions like these that remind us how sweet the season really is.
Friends, fall is a season of warmth, gathering, and slowing down to savor God’s goodness. Recipes like these Spiced Pumpkin Bars are more than just dessert—they’re a way to bring comfort, connection, and joy to your table. Bake a batch for your family, share with neighbors, or take them to a fall gathering and watch how quickly they disappear.
👉 If you haven’t already, don’t forget to try my homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice blend—it’s a game changer for all your fall baking.
Happy baking, and happy fall, friends! 🍁
