Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
  3. Press about 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth.
  5. Pour pumpkin mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer to form the streusel topping.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Chill before slicing for cleaner edges.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch.
  • Store bars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
