Skinny Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

• 1 box angel food cake mix- the 1 step kind
• 1 15oz can Pumpkin
• 3/4 cup Water
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 8oz pkg. reduced fat cream cheese
• few tablespoons of water, to be mixed with cream cheese

1. I let the cream cheese soften on the counter for a while then I added it to my stand mixer & beat it with a couple of tablespoons of water until smooth. I just wanted it to thin out a little bit.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix, pumpkin, water, & cinnamon together until it is smooth & well mixed.
3. In a 9x13 pyrex dish- sprayed with PAM- add HALF of the cake -pumpkin mix. Then smooth it out with a rubber spatula. Drizzle half of the cream cheese over the top of it and take a small spatula to smooth it over the top. Add remaining cake-pumpkin mix & also the remaining cream cheese just making layers. Finally take a butter knife- stick it into the mix and go back & forth over the top of the cake making figure "8's" - to blend it a bit.
4. Bake for 35 minutes at 375 degrees OR until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. I am always in search of healthy alternatives to recipes to share with a group I'm part of, I'm Getting Skinny and I Know It! If you are looking for help losing weight, come join our group.
