Pumpkin Roll Bars are all of the things you love about a pumpkin roll without all of the hard work! Perfect spiced and moist pumpkin with a cream cheese center. You new favorite fall dessert!
These pumpkin roll bars have been a favorite fall recipe here on the blog. They have been on here since the beginning of the blog and it was time for a picture makeover. Plus they are my favorite fall dessert so I needed to test them and still make sure they are my favorite. 😉
I love these bars because they taste just like a pumpkin roll without all of the hard work. I have never tried to make a pumpkin roll, it is on my bucket list, but it seems like so much work! These pumpkin roll bars are so much easier and they have all of the things you love about a pumpkin roll inside!
The pumpkin part is absolutely incredible. It is perfectly spiced and moist. And the cream cheese center is just the best part of it all! I think that pumpkin and cream cheese should always be combo together. The spiced pumpkin and the tangy cream cheese are the perfecting pairing.
This is an easy, delicious fall dessert that you have got to try! You will quickly see why it is my favorite!

I made these this weekend and we all loved them! I had a good suggestion from one of my recipe “guinnea pigs”, they needed chocolate chips. I’ll try them that way next time.
Yes my hubby said the same thing! I am also going to try that next time! 🙂
Great recipe! I’m so glad that I’m following you! Love your blog:)
