These warm and flaky Pumpkin Maple Pecan Bars are the easiest! Pumpkins and pecans, a great combo. They fly off the counter every time I make them!
|| Bars ||
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
|| Filling ||
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 teaspoon maple extract
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of all spice
pinch of salt
-Maple Drizzle-
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon maple extract
1 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and baking soda. Cut room temperature butter into squares and add into dry ingredients. Work together with your hands until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
Set 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture aside and mix it with the chopped pecans.
Pour the rest of the mixture into a 9″ x 9″ pan lined with parchment paper, and press down evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients for the filling together and pour on top of the crumb mixture and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved crumbles and pecans evenly on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Mix the maple icing ingredients together and drizzle on the slightly cooled bars.
Cut into squares and serve.
