Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Icing

These are simply delicious.  To be extra decadent, add chocolate chips (seriously is there anything chocolate doesn't make better?)

• 4 large eggs
• 1 2/3 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil  (I often use applesauce or apple/pumpkin butter in place of this)
• 1 (15 ounce) cans pumpkin puree
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (I use 1 cup AP flour and 1 cup whole wheat to "try" and be healthy)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• chocolate or cinnamon chips, optional
• dash of cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Grease and flour one glass 9 x 13 inch pan.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin.
4. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
5. Add chips if desired.
6. Spread into prepared pan.
7. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes (my oven is slow, it takes some people 30 minutes on the dot...but basically whenever a toothpick in the middle comes out clean)
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
9. For the frosting: beat together the cream cheese, butter and confectioner's sugar, add a dash of cinnamon and spread over cooled bars.
