Old Fashion Recipes for Pumpkin Pie Squares and Pumpkin Bars

Sometimes we tend to think of pumpkin only in the fall or during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  But we shouldn't fall into that trap.  Pumpkin is a healthy food choice and should be enjoyed all year round.  While pumpkin pie is probably our most popular pumpkin desserts, it certainly isn't the only one.  There are many great pumpkin dessert recipes and following are two good ones.  Pumpkin Pie Squares can actually be used in place of pumpkin pie, especially if you want to change things up a bit.  And pumpkin bars are always a tasty treat.  So get to baking and create a delicious dessert for tonight!

This recipe is from an old church cookbook from the Midwestern United States.

1 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup quick rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 cups pumpkin
1 can (13 1/2 oz) evaporated milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using an electric mixer, blend flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter until crumbly. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Bake 15 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, mix the pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger together until well blended. Pour the mixture over the baked crust. Return to oven and bake for 40 minutes. Make the topping below and sprinkle over the pumpkin mixture for the last twenty minutes of the baking time.

TOPPING: Mix together 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over pumpkin mixture as stated above.
