Ingredients
Crust
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup room temperature butter
Filling
  • 14.5 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, salt, brown sugar, and butter, using your hands to incorporate the butter.
  3. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom, trying to make it somewhat flat.
  4. Prebake the crust for 5 minutes.
  5. In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and spices. Remove the prebaked crust from the oven and smooth the pumpkin mixture on top.
  6. Bake the pumpkin bars for 30-35 minutes, until a knife poked into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely and refrigerate for a few hours before slicing into 16 small bars.
Notes
If you have pumpkin pie spice, you can use 1 teaspoon instead of the listed spices.
