Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to bring your Pumpkin Oatmeal Crumble Bars to life:

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Oatmeal Crust and Crumble

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined and crumbly in texture.
  3. Press about two-thirds of this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Reserve the remaining mixture for the crumble topping.

Step 3: Prepare the Pumpkin Layer

  1. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Bars

  1. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the reserved oatmeal mixture over the top of the pumpkin layer to form the crumble.

Step 5: Bake and Cool

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pumpkin layer is set.
  2. Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
