• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

What can I serve with pumpkin squares?

Pumpkin squares are perfect all by themselves but they also go great with a cream cheese icing, a plain buttercream icing, or even a scoop of ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce!

Do Pumpkin Squares freeze well?

Yes these squares freeze really well! Make sure they are in freezer tight containers or freezer bags. They freeze for 1-2 months.

Do I use canned or homemade pumpkin puree for Pumpkin Squares?

You can use either! Keep in mind, homemade pumpkin puree tends to be more watery. You may want to strain out the excess water if you haven’t already done this.

How do you store Pumpkin Squares?

You can keep these squares at room temperature for a few days or they last about 1-2 weeks in the fridge. But if you’re not using them right away I recommend freezing them.

What can you substitute pumpkin puree with?

You can use butternut or acorn squash if desired. Or if you don’t have a pumpkin to make puree with, canned puree works just as well!

Now for the real question, what is the difference between pumpkin squares and pumpkin bars?

I don’t think there is a difference honestly, except for the way you cut them, whether into squares or bar shapes. Comment below and let me know if you know if there is a difference, I’m curious. I did some research and it seems there is no real difference. So bars or squares or whatever you call them, I hope you like this recipe!
