Happy Thanksgiving week! We’re on the road to Arizona for Thanksgiving and guess what??? We aren’t cooking tomorrow–we’re going out! I can’t tell you how relieved I am. The stress of traveling + cooking + cleaning + kids who don’t eat it anyway. SO happy to relax and spend the day with family and just show up for dinner!
Before pumpkin season is over I had to share these Pumpkin Angel Food Cake Bars again, with some updated photos! They require just three ingredients {not including the whipped cream or optional glaze, but they don’t count!}. One box of fat free angel food cake mix, one 15 ounce can of pumpkin, and some pumpkin pie spice. That’s it! Mix the three together and bake them in a 9 X 13 inch pan!
I decided to do something fun and make little Pumpkin Angel Food Cake + Banana Kebabs! What other fruit would go well with pumpkin? I couldn’t think of anything other than banana so went with it!
But these would be a fun, guilt free treat to bring to a party. You know, for your friends who appreciate lightened up options for dessert 🙂
Served with some fresh whipped cream these are dreamy little bites of heaven! I included the nutritional info below too! 
3 Ingredient Pumpkin Angel Food Cake Bars
Ingredients
- 1 box fat free Angel Food Cake Mix
- 1 (16oz) canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped Cream
- * 4 bananas, sliced into rounds if you want to make the kebabs
- * optional glaze
- 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix angel food cake mix, pumpkin, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Pour into a greased 9 X 13 in cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool.
- Cut into bars and serve with whipped cream.
- Cut into cubes if you want to make kebabs. Alternate sliced bananas and the pumpkin angel food cake cubes onto a wooden skewer.
- If you want to drizzel with a glaze:
- In another bowl, beat powdered sugar, hot water, vanilla and 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice together. Drizzle over the top of the cake and cut into squares.
Hi Kristy! I love the cake mix shortcut here! I’ve never had pumpkin with angel food cake before – OR pumpkin IN angel food cake before. What a recipe. I eat SO much pumpkin these days. I cannot get enough, ever! Have a great weekend!
I’ve never made angel food cake from scratch…don’t think I’ll get to it anytime soon either! The box mix is just too easy and good!
I’m with ya on the pumpkin!
Have a great weekend too!
That lookes wonderful!!!
I’m hosting a COOKIE bloghop and I would love you to join! Please check it out at

Cheers!
These look really good. BTW, making an angel food cake from scratch is pretty easy, just be sure you get all the yolk into a separate container, but the bigger bonus is that you can control how much sugar goes into it.
Yummy! 🙂 I love angel food cake and pumpkin. Gotta make them!
Yummy! I saw your recipe on Pinterest and I had to come on by and check it out. This looks awesome!! And easy! What a great combo!!
Hi Meghan, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!! Hope you like it!!
I can’t even remember the last time I had angel food cake – which is a shame because I love it! I’m totally loving this pumpkin version!
Are there any eggs in this recipe? I don’t see it listed, but just wanted to make sure!!! I’m making this as soon as I get an answer 🙂 *So excited*
Nope no eggs!!
Even better! Thanks I’m going to write a real review when I actually get to try them….will be VERY soon!!
I saw this on Pinterest and made them wiht my niece tonight! They were really good and she loved them too! If I figured it correctly they are 90 calories a piece(i cute them into 24 squares) and only 2 grams of fat in the whole pan!!!!! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Has anyone made this in a bundt pad?
Oops, pan
Hello – just a quick question. Do I make the Angel Food Cake according to the box instructions? Or do I use the pumpkin instead of the other cake ingredients? Thank you!
Use the pumpkin instead of the other ingredients:)
Thank you for asking that question, I had the same one!!
I’m making this tonight, soo excited, thank you for sharing! It’s so nice to have something easy that everyone will love!
I’ll add it (I just linked to it in the post above)
What brand of Angel Food Cake mix do you use? I know it doesn’t matter in regards to the recipe, but I’d just like to know. Also, This sounds SO good! I have a disease that causes me to be fed by a feeding tube because my body cannot handle or process “regular” food, but typically I’m able to tolerate a small slice of Angel food cake here and there. I’ve been CRAVING pumpkin but I can no longer eat any of the typical pumpkin treats, I think this just might be my answer! I’m so excited to try it!
I believe I used the Duncan Hines Angel Food Cake mix!! I hope you can enjoy pumpkin with this cake!!
Hi!
is it possible to use a whit or yellow cake mix instead of angel food mix?
My angel food cake mix has the egg whites separate from the mix. Should i just mix everything together for this cake?
Thanks.
Instead of canned pumpkin, can I use home made pumpkin puree?
I’ve never tried it but I think it should work!!
Thank you for the nice recipe. Do you have the recipe for the glaze? Happy Holidays to you an your family.
Have you ever tried to freeze these for later?
Hi. Thanks for being here. I’m going to try these with white, vanilla or yellow cake mix instead. They look good & the glaze seems good too. How about Maple Glaze too, to change it up now & then? I’m signing up!
looks Wonderful! Did I miss glaze recipe?
I linked to the glaze in the post but i’ll add it to instructions!
Can you make this in a bundt pan or angel food cake pan?
I’m sure you can!
I followed this recipe exactly and they were terrible, I was so disappointed. I am a seasoned baker so I don’t know what went wrong. I even made cream cheese frosting to doctor them up, but no takers. Make these and sample them before you serve them to guests!
Sorry they didn’t turn out for you!
What size (in ozs.) Angel Food cake mix did you uae, Kristy? Peerhaps Angie’s cake didn’t turn out well because many cake mixes are now smaller than they previously were. I seriously doubt that Angie messed up a 3 ingredient cake! I wanted to ask this question before I went ahead and made this recipe. Pleaase respond, since I’s like to bring this cake to a Thanksgiving gathering.
Oh no, I made it several years ago so I’m sure it was the larger one! I didn’t know cake mix sizes had changed!
Which to use canned pumpkin or canned pumpkin pie filling? Maybe she used the wrong one??
Canned pumpkin 🙂
What happens if I use the pie mix and leave out the spices? Wouldn’t it be the same thing?
would be worth a try, but i’m not sure (i haven’t tried it!)
Does this need to be refrigerated?
Not necessarily, just if you want to!
The cake is really good but I don’t like the glaze, at all, so now I need to figure out a different glaze or frosting to put on it.
Good luck, let me know what you end up liking! Would love to know!
This sounds so easy and looks so good,I will give it a go!
My handicapped brother is diabetic & I made these, the house smells awesome. W live in Fl. cn’t waitti ice & try:):)
Love your making, keep blogging with innovative recipes 🙂
Made this today at 5000 ft elevation and it turned out great! I did double the spice amount but other than that I made no modifications. Served with a dolop of whipped cream. Yum!
