Just about every blog I read has had at least one (if not several) inspiring pumpkin recipes (I can't wait to try this Pumpkin Risotto from Lauren @ Hey, who cut the cheese). I hadn't jumped on the bandwagon, because despite the fact that we carve pumpkins in October, they've always been a Thanksgiving treat for me (yes, I'm slightly mental, why do you ask). Turkey day is the only day I'm willing to touch pumpkin pie, and I think it's just because of nostalgia. I decided to give pumpkin it's first outing for the year and make a simple dessert. This is a rich, easy bar dessert. Also, it's Monday morning, so I'm just going to leave it at that.
Pumpkin Crumb Bars
Crust
1 yellow cake mix (remove 1 cup and set aside)
1 large egg
8 Tbl melted butter
Preheat your oven to 350°. Mix all ingredients and press into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 pan.
Filling
2 large eggs
1/4 Cup sugar
2/3 Cup evaporated milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
15 oz. pumpkin puree (not sweetened)
1/3 cup brown sugar
Whisk all ingredients together and pour over the crust.
Topping
1 Cup reserved yellow cake mix
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup butter
Mix all ingredients together and then drop dollops on top on the filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool and cut into single servings.
Yum! These look so tasty! I've been itching to bake something with pumpkin since again lately. Can't wait to try these out. Thanks so much for the shoutout, too! =D
