Easy Pumpkin Keto Bars with cream cheese frosting that everyone will be begging for more.
It’s pumpkin spice season and this Keto pumpkin bars recipe is a must for everyone’s kitchen. I love all the pumpkin recipes so far on the blog and I can’t say that this will be the last. The Keto cream cheese frosting is the key to this fabulous fall dessert.
Why this recipe is special
Yesterday I made my Lemon bars and these pumpkin bars to take to a family get-together. They were so easy and really only had two steps to make them. I’m sure you love those kinds of recipes when you are in the busy holiday season and trying to tackle so many things. Plus they are Keto-friendly and would be a great dessert to bring to your next potluck. I suggest you double the recipe and make two batches.

Keto Pumpkin Bars FAQ’s
Almond flour is probably the most widely used keto flour substitute. It’s made simply from crushed almonds and is extremely low in carbs.
I like to bake with Swerve and Erythritol. Swerve has powdered sugar, great for frosting, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
Almost all health food grocery stores carry them like Spouts, Whole Foods or Amazon
There are 10G of carbs in 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. It is considered Keto Approved.
What Extra Ingredients Can You Add to Pumpkin Bars?
- Chopped Walnuts
- Lillys Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
- Chopped Pecans
- Wilton Sugar Fall Leaves
- A Sprinkle of Cinnamon or Powdered Sugar
Thick or Thin Pumpkin Bars?
Depending on if you like thin or thick pumpkin bars, you can use a 9 X 9 pan to make thinner or double the recipe and use a 9 X 13 pan. Just watch the timing. I always check 5 minutes before the timer goes off.
You can also add a little cinnamon in the frosting to give it a little more spice. It is a light and airy cake, it’s so good.

Pumpkin with cheese? I’ve never tried it but sounds terrific! 🙂
Oh, my! This looks delicious! I love how easy it is. A friend of ours gave us a pumpkin roll at Thanksgiving that would take too much time for me to make.
I bet the cream cheese makes it so moist. Gotta make this!
They do look really yummy, especially with that frosting on the top!
