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

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