How to Make Pumpkin Pie Bars
First Layer: Cream together the brown sugar and softened butter. Add the flour and oats and mix until well combined and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 13×9 pan and bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes.
Second Layer: Combine white sugar, pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, and spices. Beat on medium speed with your mixer for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the baked crust. Bake in a 350˚F oven for 20 minutes.
Third Layer: In a bowl combine brown sugar and pecans. Sprinkle over pumpkin pie bars. Bake an additional 15-25 minutes at 350˚F oven until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool, slice and top with whipped cream.
It’s no secret that if you love pumpkin, you’ll dive into all things pumpkin this time of year. And since my birthday is in October and I always have pumpkin pie, having something a little different with a hot cup of coffee, is just what fall ordered. There is goodness in every single bite when it comes to these pumpkin pie bars!
