Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.75 cup evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of melted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 cups of flour, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix until crumbly.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, 1 cup of granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin filling over the pre-baked crust and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, rolled oats, and pecans (if using). Drizzle with 1/4 cup of melted butter and toss until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.

Step 9

Bake the bars for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crumble topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve as is, or top with whipped cream for an extra treat!
