These Pumpkin Pie Bars combine a cookie-like crust with pumpkin pie filling and a crumb topping. A perfect and simpler alternative to making pumpkin pie.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, oats, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Add sugars and combine until no lumps remain. Stir in melted coconut oil (or butter) and vanilla until everything is evenly moistened. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cups rolled oats, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light-brown sugar, ¾ cup coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Prepare the filling in the meantime. Combine sugars, spices and salt. Add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla and whisk together. Stir in pumpkin puree then milk. Pour filling over baked crust and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light brown sugar, 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree, ⅓ cup evaporated milk
Then remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining crumb topping and optional coarse sugar. Bake for another 20-25 minutes towards the top of the oven to prevent the bottom crust from burning. The pumpkin squares are done when they are slightly browned and center jiggles only a little.
1 tablespoon coarse sugar
Cool at room-temperature for 1 hour, then chill thoroughly in the fridge before cutting into bars.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and cinnamon. Store covered and refrigerated.
