Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, both sugars, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring just until combined.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumb topping.
7. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
9. Bake for 28–33 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
10. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into bars.
Notes
Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slicing.
Full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt ensures the best texture—avoid non-fat.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing for neat, bakery-style squares.
