Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
- If using a food processor, add the flour, oats, sugar, butter, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and baking soda to the bowl fitted with the dough blade. Process in 10 second bursts until you have a crumbly mixture with small dots of butter throughout. If using a pastry cutter, add mixture to a small bowl and cut together until you have a crumbly mixture with small dots of butter throughout.
- Spread half of the mixture into the prepared pan and press to flatten.
- Stir together the pumpkin, maple syrup, remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until combined. Spread gently over the oat mixture.
- Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over the top.
- If baking in a convection oven, bake for 28 minutes or until golden brown and edges are holding together. If baking in a standard oven, bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and edges are holding together.
- Serve warm or at room temperature - bars will be fairly soft and crumbly and are easiest eaten with a fork.
