Spiced Pumpkin Butter Oat Bars

Author Melissa

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour I've used all purpose, white whole wheat, pastry flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • ¼ cup sugar Coconut sugar or cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup vegan butter or firm coconut oil
  • 1 cup 5 Minute Spiced Pumpkin Butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8 x 8 baking dish.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, oats, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder.
    1 cup flour, 1 cup oats, ¼ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Using your fingers or a pastry blender cut in vegan butter or coconut oil until only pea size pieces remain.
    ¼ cup vegan butter or firm coconut oil
  • Add pumpkin puree. Use hands to work pumpkin in while maintaining a crumbly texture.
    ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • Press just over half the mixture into baking dish. Be sure to apply enough pressure that mixture holds together. I laid a piece of parchment paper on the top and rolled a can back and forth to provide even pressure.
  • Spread spiced pumpkin butter over crust in an even layer.
    1 cup 5 Minute Spiced Pumpkin Butter
  • Crumble remaining oat mixture over the pumpkin butter layer.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and crumble is toasted and a little crunchy. Allow to cool completely before cutting into desired sized squares or bars.

Notes

You'll need to make a batch of the 5 Minute Spiced Pumpkin Butter to make these bars.
