Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars

2009 September 21

This is one of my new favorite pumpkin recipes. I predict that I will be making this several times this Fall! It is so crumbly and full of sweet, cinnamon, pumpkin flavor! Believe it or not, this recipe is vegan. I used cornstarch instead of eggs, and soy milk instead of milk. If you want to use eggs and milk, you certainly can. For every 2 tablespoons of cornstarch use one egg, and use equal amounts of milk as soy milk. I also used Betty Crocker’s Gluten Free Cake mix, but using Duncan Hines Yellow Cake mix would make it vegan too.

This dessert tastes wonderful alone, but adding whipped cream or a little vanilla ice cream would definitely kick it up a notch. Adding Haggen-Dazs Brown Sugar ice cream would take this treat to an entirely different level of tastiness! I am thinking I also might try this recipe using a spice cake mix to see how that pairs with the pumpkin filling. I think it might be quite the flavor combination!

    These bars are just what I’ve been craving! Wow, they look way too amazing.

    Do you think I could use Canned Pumpkin instead of the pumpkin pie filling? I was thinking of adding a mashed banana to the pumpkin to add some sweetness? I guess I could experiment with it.

    Thanks so much for this recipe. I can’t wait to make them!
