An easy-to-make pumpkin bar that has a dense, cake-like texture. It can be assembled relatively quickly, and tastes great with a cup of coffee! For best results, let the bars sit until the next day-the flavors meld and the spices come through more.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with enough parchment to have overhang on all sides.

  2. Whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda in a bowl until well combined.

  3. Whisk together pumpkin puree, white sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in remaining flour mixture until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back lightly when touched, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 30 to 45 minutes. Slice into 24 bars.

Cook's Note:

Be sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for this!
