Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

How to Make Pumpkin Cream Cheese Crumble Bars

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Pour the pumpkin batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar until creamy. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the pumpkin batter, and gently swirl it in with a knife.
7. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, melted butter, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix well to create the crumble topping.
8. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the cream cheese layer and scatter the fresh blueberries on top.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother mixture.
• Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined for a lighter texture.
• For an extra touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts into the crumble for added crunch.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips to the pumpkin batter for a decadent twist.
• Substitute the blueberries with cranberries or diced apples for a different flavor.
• Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for a spicier profile.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
• A cup of spiced chai or apple cider for a cozy beverage pairing.
