An oat crust, pumpkin pie filling, and pecan praline topping. A great update to the traditional pumpkin pie!

  • 1/2 cup quick oats

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • For the filling:

  • 1 (12.5 ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1-3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • For the topping:
  • 1/2 cup pecans

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

These bars are delicious. I followed the recipe and after pressing the bottom layer into the 9x13 pan, it seemed too thin, so I doubled the bottom layer to make it thicker. The next time I make it, I'll probably make it in a 9X9 pan instead so I don't have to double the bottom layer.

I will absolutely make this again. I searched many recipes, settled on this one, and delighted that I seem to have choosen wisely - it's not overly rich but has a nice full pumpkin taste. I was worried about that topping being really sweet so cut back on the brown sugar, as I only had dark brown, but it was a nice touch. Also, didn't realize I was out of ginger - will make sure next time I have some, but allspice was ok. THANKS!

This is absolutely delicious! I made it last year & friends are requesting it again this year as well as want the recipe! Warning, they are addictive. Highly recommend, easy to make, I added 6 more minutes in the last step for a high altitude.

I love this recipe. It makes a large pumpkin pie with a different twist. Great for holiday gatherings where it is especially good with a whipped topping or just plain as a treat to take to work for that mid-afternoon pick me up for the gang. I have only had rave reviews. Thank you for publishing only the best recipes on the web.. :)

I served these pumpkin squares with whipped cream and they were a big hit. They are better than any pumpkin pie I have ever tasted. Very moist and just the right consistency. Everyone wants to recipe!

I have been looking for this for years. My grandma used to make it for my kids because they didn't like crust pies. Every year they would ask for this.

Excellent! Only thing i would change is more butter in the crust and make sure it is mixed in very very well! Otherwise excellent! I added more cinnamon (as usual).
