How to Make Pumpkin Bars With Brown Sugar Nut Topping
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter into the brown sugar and oats until crumbly. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- **Make the topping:** In a separate bowl, cut the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter into the nuts, flour, and brown sugar until crumbly. Set aside.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the topping evenly over the warm filling.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
- Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
