Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar packed

For the filling:

  • 30 ounce can pumpkin pie mix
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk

For the topping:

  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted cold butter grated or small diced

Optional glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 with parchment paper or foil sprayed with cooking spray, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl stir together the flour, pumpkin spice, and salt until combined.
  • In a large bowl cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth, 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and mix it in until just combined with no dry patches. Press this into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking make the filling. In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin mix, eggs, and evaporated milk until smooth. Pour this over the crust.
  • In a large bowl stir together the brown sugar, flour, oats, pumpkin spice, and salt. Add the butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or use your finger to combine the mixture to resemble wet sand.
  • Sprinkle the streusel over the pumpkin filling. Bake for 60-70 minutes until the crust is lightly golden brown. Place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set, even best overnight. Cut into bars.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the bars, let sit for 10 minutes and serve.
