This is one of my favorite fall treats! They are amazing and you’ll want to make them immediately. They are delectable!
Pumpkin Crisp Bars
Crisp Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups quick oats (old fashioned works too)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 cup coconut oil, softened, nearly melted
Pumpkin Filling Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed-light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cardamom (if you have it)
a dash of ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 can pureed pumpkin
1/3 cup almond or coconut milk
Preheat the oven to 350*. Spray a 8x8 baking dish. Mix together the crisp ingredients and press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the pan to make the base of the bar. Bake for 15 minutes.
Mix together pumpkin filling. Pour over crisp base once it is out of the oven. Crumble the remaining crisp mixture on top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes. Let the bars cool to firm up before serving. They are definitely better once completely set!
Enjoy!
*Notes:
If you do not wish to be dairy free, you may sub butter for the coconut oil in the crisp and regular milk or half & half for the pumpkin filling.
You can double this recipe to make a 9 x 13 pan, but it will take quite a bit longer to cook!
