Easy Pumpkin Pie Bars

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix, divided
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Whisk sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Stir sugar mixture and pumpkin into eggs until completely incorporated.

Gradually stir evaporated milk into pumpkin mixture. Add 1 cup yellow cake mix to the pumpkin mixture and stir to remove any lumps. Pour mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining yellow cake mix over the top and drizzle butter over the cake mix.

Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour. Cool to room temperature and cut into bars. Top with whipped topping.
