Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Mix well.
Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is crumbly. Reserve 3/4 cup of this mixture for topping.
Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top, followed by the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
