Pumpkin cheesecake crumble bars. The name says it all! These bars are full of the best flavors and topped with a crumbly oat topping! The sweet sour cream layer adds a tang that goes well with the pumpkin cheesecake. You will love these!
These bars are made in a blender (the crust and filling) so clean up is easy! Love that! If you don’t have a blender that can handle making crust / batter you can use a food processor as well. I love the combo of pumpkin and cream cheese, they go so well together. Add in a crumbly streusel topping?! I can’t resist! When you have two different kinds of creams going on (cream cheese and sour cream) you know they are gonna be good! Plus, pumpkin is a vegetable so basically you can have this for dinner ;). 
I actually made these pumpkin cheesecake bars last year for a family Halloween party we hosted at our house. I wanted to have an “adult dessert” since the kids were going to play donut on a string I figured that would be good enough for them. I haven’t met many kids that don’t like donuts. And I haven’t met many adults that don’t like some form of cheesecake! These were so good and the perfect dessert to end a fun night with family!
