They’re the perfect combination of warm spices, creamy pumpkin, and a crunchy oat topping. Whether you’re looking for a dessert to share at your next gathering or a sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee, this recipe will hit the spot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well-mixed. This will form your crumble mixture.
  • Press half of the crumble mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread to form the base layer.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture over the crumble base, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  • Top with the remaining crumble mixture. If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added crunch and flavor.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pumpkin filling is set.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients. Allow the eggs and butter to come to room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Don’t overmix the crumble. Mix just until the ingredients come together, so the crumble retains its texture.
  • Let the bars cool completely before slicing. This helps them set and makes them easier to cut into clean squares.
