Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the cooled brewed coffee or espresso until the batter is smooth.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. While the bars are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
  11. Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  12. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure your coffee or espresso is cooled before adding it to the batter to prevent cooking the eggs.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can add a bit more espresso.
  • Store any leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
