Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Spice Filling:

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (ensure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)

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

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, to taste

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

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

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or use 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 topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Dish: Start by lining a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang to facilitate easy removal later.

    Create the Pumpkin Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and lemon juice. Whisk or stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted butter (or coconut oil) and mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly and fully incorporated.

        Assemble the Bars: Take half of the crumble topping and evenly press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Carefully pour the pumpkin spice filling over the crust and spread it out evenly. Finally, sprinkle the remaining crumble topping over the pumpkin layer.

          Freeze the Bars: Place the prepared baking dish into the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the bars are firm. For optimal texture, freezing overnight is recommended.

            Slice and Serve: Once the bars are fully frozen, lift them out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Allow the bars to sit at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes to soften slightly, which will make them easier to slice into squares. If desired, top with crushed nuts or chocolate chips for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

              Storage Tips: Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
