Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, diced
- 1 cup pecan halves (about 4 ounces)
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned or quick rolled oats
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.
- Add the diced butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the pecans and oats, and pulse a few more times until combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- In the same blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture over the pumpkin layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is set.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
Notes
For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. These bars are perfect for a fall gathering or holiday party. If you don’t have a blender, a food processor works just as well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
