Pumpkin-Walnut Bars

Reminiscent of pumpkin pie, with a delicious ginger crust. Serve at room temperature with fresh whipped cream or vanilla frozen yogurt. Test kitchen tip: If these get too soft after storing, just pop them in the oven on a baking sheet for a few minutes.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, and maple syrup. Coat a 9x11-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Place mixture into the bottom of the pan and press to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar, and egg. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour pumpkin mixture over crust and spread evenly. Bake for 40 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the streusel topping by combining walnuts, 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Blend with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. After pumpkin bars have baked, sprinkle with streusel and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until golden.
