As long as the weather continues to get colder, we will continue to post all the pumpkin recipes!
Pumpkin is one of those fall flavors that I cannot get sick of. Give me all the pumpkin goodies and I’ll be one happy camper!
These pumpkin pie crumble bars are based on these s’mores oatmeal bars. I was so in love with the crust of that recipe, I knew I just HAD to replicate it into a fall-inspired recipe!
The oatmeal-graham crust goes incredibly well with the pumpkin pie filling. And the oatmeal crumbs on top just adds to the deliciousness.
Are you convinced yet to make them? Here is what you need:
oatmeal (certified gluten-free)
gluten-free graham crackers
applesauce
baking powder
maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
canned pumpkin puree
coconut cream or dairy-free or regular cream cheese
pumpkin pie spice
crumb topping
We hope you enjoy these pumpkin pie crumble bars as much as you do!
