Pumpkin Pie Bars (gluten-free, whole grain options)

Jump to Recipe

These pumpkin pie bars are loaded with streusel and are a fun alternative to traditional pumpkin pie! With gluten-free and 100% whole grain options.

I originally wanted to make an almond flour based crust and top it off with the same streusel topping I used here, but then I realized how dumb that was. That would have dirtied up another two bowls and made the whole process even longer.

These gluten-free and 100% whole grain pumpkin pie bars are loaded with streusel and are a fun and delicious alternative to traditional pumpkin pie!

Plus, let’s be honest – an almond flour crust wouldn’t have been as good as this streusel-like one. I love baking with almond flour but it’s just so darned hard to compete with oats and oat flour.

So now you’ve got one mixture for the crust and topping. The result is incredibly easy and it couldn’t be tastier.

These gluten-free and 100% whole grain pumpkin pie bars are loaded with streusel and are a delicious and fun alternative to traditional pumpkin pie!

I used oats and oat flour making these pumpkin pie bars gluten-free and 100% whole grain but I kind of dropped the ball on the dairy-free thing. I bet you could use canned coconut milk for the evaporated milk in the filling. For a topping, this vegan caramel sauce would be perfect.

But using coconut oil instead of butter in the streusel in the crust / topping would probably require a little reworking (a slight reduction in the amount of fat). If you try it out, I’d love to hear how it goes!

You can serve these pumpkin pie bars as is or with whipped cream or this salted maple caramel sauce. I preferred the caramel sauce but whatever floats your boat. :)

These delicious gluten-free and 100% whole grain pumpkin pie bars are loaded with streusel and are a fun alternative to traditional pumpkin pie!

Maybe ice cream would also be good? Or maybe not. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pumpkin dessert served with ice cream. I guess it’s time to try that out!

Something else I’m not sure about is doubling the recipe for a 9″x13″ or using a tart pan. I think some more experimenting is in order!

This no-bake pumpkin Nutella cheesecake or these pumpkin caramel layer bars also look awesome!

Pumpkin Pie Bars (gluten-free, whole grain options)
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Ready in:
  • Yield: 16 bars

Ingredients

    For the crust and topping:

  • 1 1/4 cups (115 grams) oat flour (use certified gluten-free, if necessary)1
  • 2 cups (180 grams) rolled oats (use certified gluten-free rolled oats, if necessary)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup (200 grams) brown or raw sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (196 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • For the filling:

  • 1 15-ounce (425-gram) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (67 grams) granulated or raw sugar
  • 1/3 cup (67 grams) brown or coconut sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice2
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) evaporated milk

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prepare the crust and topping. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oat flour, oats, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Stir in the butter until well combined.
  3. Pat half of the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 18 - 22 minutes or until lightly golden brown. The crust will bubble a little during baking.
  5. Let the crust cool for 5 - 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, stir together all the filling ingredients. Pour evenly over the crust and bake for 12 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and add walnut-sized pieces of the remaining oat mixture over the filling. It will be a very thick layer and some of it will sink a little into the filling. Bake for another 30 minutes or until the filling is golden brown and firm and the middle is set.
  8. Let cool for 1 hour and serve with whipped cream or maple caramel sauce.
  9. Cool completely before covering. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  1. You can also make your own oat flour! To make oat flour, pulse quick or rolled oats in a food processor or coffee grinder until finely ground.
  2. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, make your own using 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.

    Hi I am wanting to make these for my husband but I am not sure of the calorie content per serving. Is there a way that you could let me know so I can know for myself since I am on a diet and so my husband has a yummy gluten free treat? Thanks!

      You might want to try rolled quinoa flakes, but it’s just a guess, and though they are definitely gluten free, if you eat quinoa then you know the crusty and young will definitely have that stronger quinoa flavor…

    The streusal bars are an unbelievably delicious pumpkin dessert, i was looking for a good thanksgiving treat for my grandaughter and it ended up being so scrumptious everyone would have had 3rds if they could have. I never made the carmel sauce (don’t think it was missed) but had lactose free whipped cream. From now on this is our new holiday dessert.

    Janine’s comment – Just made these, but substituted baked apples for the pumpkin. I also used quinoa flour instead of the oat flour, as that is what I had. It came out great and was a hit at dinner last night! Seems like it is a pretty flexible recipe.

    I love truffles! When my youngest daughter attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY she brought home samples of the various sweets that she made in her classes-her truffles were my favorite. She then went on to make $1000 worth of them during Christmas break to sell to my friends. My father was born in Germany and became a master baker there. He would have been impressed with how well my daughter bakes and how hard she works.

    Every year my mom would make extremely basic sugar cookies that me and my sis would douse liberally with sprinkles. So good! Now, I can’t eat them, so I’m the one making them instead!

So happy that you like recipes and baking tips. :) I took 3 years of German in high school and another 3 in college and actually spoke better German before I moved here so I’m a terrible example. I understand most conversational stuff but speaking it myself and having the other person actually understand what I mean is another issue. Maybe you could join an integration class if you’re a total beginner (or maybe even if you’re not! I’m not sure how they work). Good luck! :)

    My favorite Holiday treat is a tie! Either my Cinnamon Candied popcorn – uses Red Hots candy – or my Red Hot Cinnamon Caramels. Both are so delicious and perfect color for the Holiday Season. Can you tell I love cinnamon? :)

    My favorite holiday goodie….tough question! Scones, German pecan roll, my mother’s coffee cakes…
    and your pumpkin streusel squares look great, by the way!

      German pecan roll?! Pecans must have been a lot cheaper in the old days because they’re so outrageously expensive here I can’t imagine ever baking with them. Or is it a German chocolate pecan roll and it doesn’t have anything to do with Germany? Either way, sounds interesting! :)

    I was born in Germany, and at Aldi I can get a few holiday treats like stollen, spekulatius, and lebkuchen,but the true chocolates above are hard to get a hold of! Thanks for the chance to enter!

    So, these bars are basically streusel-bottomed, and I love that. Never enough streusel (or pumpkin!). I love this giveaway! Josh went to Germany in high school and can basically only remember the candy he ate, which seems like the best part anyway. My favorite holiday treat isn’t even sweet – it’s my mom’s party mix. She uses like 8 lbs of butter, so eating it is definitely limited to holidays when calories don’t count.

      Hahaha. I love that he just remembers the candy. It is the most important part of an exchange. ;) And party mix? I don’t know what that is so I’m checking it out!

    These pumpkin pie bars look sooooooo good. But my favorite holiday treat is molasses cookies dipped in chocolate. :)
