Pumpkin Pie Squares start the new monthly recipe theme


I am starting this month’s recipe theme, which is PUMPKIN recipes, with a more traditional item Pumpkin Pie.  With a monthly theme we will share recipes all month on the theme including as much variety as possible. To find all the recipes of the month this month search PumpNov and to find all the recipes from each month check out the bottom of this post or search "recipe2018." 

These little squares are easy to make and the perfect size to slip into your lunch or afternoon snack to get you ready for Thanksgiving.  Store them in the refrigerator for a week or more of tasty treats.



To craft this wonderful recipe, I recommend my very popular Cinnful Dessert Blend.  If you do not have this or your own pumpkin or apple, use 1 tsp gr cinnamon, 1/2  tsp gr ginger and 1/4  tsp gr cloves.


Pumpkin Pie Squares
1 15-ounce can pumpkin
1 12-ounce can low-fat evaporated milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp BYP Cinnful Dessert Blend

Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup old fashioned oats
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup butter softened

Topping
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cu packed dark brown sugar
2 Tbls butter
Whipped cream topping

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F grease a 13x9 inch glass baking dish

To prepare crust, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter. Using a pastry blender or fork, stir until crumbly.  Press into prepared pan and bake 15 minutes or until partially set.

To prepare filling, combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, salt, spices. Pour over crust and bake 30 minutes.

To prepare toppings, combine pecans, brown sugar and butter.  Remove pan from oven and sprinkle topping evenly over filling.  Bake another 15 to 20 min. until filling is set.  Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.  Serve with whipped cream if desires.  Makes 30 squares.
