Description

Pumpkin pie meets crumb bar in these pumpkin pie crumble bars! Drizzled with maple glaze, these bars make an irresistible fall treat!


Ingredients

Crust and Crumble

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 14 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin
  • 2/3 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Maple Glaze

  • 6 Tbsp dark amber maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp maple extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Fold in melted butter and vanilla until combined and dough comes together in large clumps. Reserve 1 1/2 cups crumble; chill until ready to use.
  3. Add remaining crumble to prepared baking pan and use a piece of waxed paper to press into an even layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until top and edges are lightly golden. Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack.
  4. For the filling, whisk together pumpkin, Greek yogurt, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth with an offset spatula; tap pan sharply to remove air bubbles and sprinkle with reserved crumble.
  5. Return baking dish to oven and bake another 50 to 55 minutes, until topping is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges mostly clean. Cool bars completely on a wire rack.
  6. For the glaze, combine maple syrup, butter, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until butter is melted and mixture is combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and maple extract. Let cool for several minutes to thicken slightly, then drizzle over bars.
  7. Carefully lift parchment to remove bars from pan and place on a cutting board; cut into squares with a sharp knife. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
