Pumpkin Pie Squares from How Does Your Garden Grow? {www.thefarmgirlgabs.com}

Fall is in full swing here at Russo’s. It is a hectic time of year here on our farm, but also one of my favorite seasons. Acres of pumpkins in our fields are ready to be picked and sold in anticipation for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It truly is the time of year when our harvest is bountiful and plenty. Fall in our house also means plenty of pumpkin recipes to make, bake and share. This Pumpkin Pie Squares recipe is one my mom has been making as long as I can remember.

Pumpkin Pie Squares are a twist on a classic pumpkin pie. What’s the twist you ask? These bars are made in a sheet pan with a sweet, buttery and crunchy oatmeal crust. In addition, they have a nut topping which give the bars an extra tasty crunch. They are delicious. Dear daughter Gabrielle absolutely LOVES pumpkin pie and this is one of her favorite pumpkin desserts. I hope you enjoy it as much as she does.

  1. Yum! Fall is my favorite time of the year (for many reasons), but I adore pumpkin so much that I love having a multitude of ways to eat it. Your pumpkin squares look fantastic. I’m imagining myself munching on one while sipping a hot cup of coffee or chai tea. 🙂

  2. Those look delicious, and your photography is amazing too! I’m looking forward to the fall flavors at the farmer’s market! I’d love to try making these! Thanks so much for sharing them with us at Foodie Fridays! Pinning!

  3. Yummy…I love pumpkin. I actually have a Pinterest board specifically for nothing but pumpkin uses. Pinned your post. I ate 8 sugar pumpkins last winter and hope to get a dozen this year. What a delicious way to eat healthy from fall through winter into spring.

  4. What a simple and delicious way to use pumpkin in a non-pie:) Thanks for stopping by our Happy Holidays Link Party – be sure to join us again this week (beginning on Saturday at 7 pm ET) and every week through the holidays.
