Easy Pumpkin Pie Bars
Description
Easy Pumpkin Pie Bars start by combining dry ingredients—brown sugar, coconut or other flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spices—in one bowl. Another bowl mixes wet ingredients including canned pumpkin puree, eggs, milk or milk alternatives, and vanilla extract. The wet mix is combined with the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.
This batter is poured into a greased baking dish and baked at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. The resulting bars have firm edges with a moist, spiced interior reflecting classic pumpkin pie flavors but in a bar format easier to slice and serve.
The bars can be enjoyed as a dessert or snack and accommodate alternative milks and flours like almond or oat flour. Substitutions are possible for sugar and spices, allowing for personal preference adjustments. After baking, the bars should cool completely before slicing to retain their shape.
