Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Spice Filling:

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat or low-fat)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)

1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for a vegan option)

Pinch of salt

For Assembly:

Parchment paper (for lining the baking dish)

Optional: crushed nuts or chocolate chips for toppings

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Make the Pumpkin Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

      Prepare the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork or your hands until crumbly and well combined.

        Assemble the Bars: Press half of the crumble topping into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a crust. Spread the pumpkin spice filling evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumble topping over the pumpkin layer.

          Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, overnight is preferable.

            Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing into squares. If desired, sprinkle with crushed nuts or chocolate chips for added texture.

              Store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
