  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the filling:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures even baking, giving you that perfect texture!

  2. Prepare the base: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbs form. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.

  3. Mix the filling: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth. This filling is creamy and packed with flavor!

  4. Pour the filling over the base: Carefully spread it out so it fills all the corners.

  5. Prepare the topping: In a bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until crumbly. Scatter this mixture evenly over the pumpkin filling.

  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown. You’ll know it’s done when your kitchen smells amazing!

  7. Cool and cut: Allow the bars to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares.

How to Serve Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars

  • Garnish with whipped cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra creaminess.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar: A light dusting of powdered sugar adds a nice touch.
  • Pair with coffee or tea: Enjoy these bars with your favorite warm beverage for a comforting treat.

How to Store Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars

To keep your Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you want to save some for later, freeze the bars wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or enjoy them cold!

Tips to Make Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars

  • Don’t skip the spices: They’re what make the flavor so comforting!
  • Adjust the sweetness: Feel free to add more sugar to the filling if you like it sweeter.
  • Let them cool completely: For cleaner cuts when slicing into bars.
  • Use pumpkin spice blend: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger works great!

Variation

  • Gluten-Free: Swap all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make it suitable for gluten-free diets.
  • Vegan: Substitute eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil instead of butter for a vegan-friendly version.
