A golden oreo crust and a sweet and spicy pumpkin filling makes these pumpkin pie bars irresistible. You just need a dollop of whipped cream!

(Un) Traditional Pumpkin Pie Bars

I love a good pumpkin pie, but have you tried Pumpkin Pie Bars? No fiddling with pie crust and feeds a crowd! The crust is made with crushed golden oreos and melted butter while the filling is simply just pumpkin, spices, eggs and sweetened condensed milk (to create that crack-free pumpkin filling). Similar to my No-Bake Pumpkin Lasagna Dessert, but more traditional in taste to a pumpkin pie.

As someone who tests and re-tests recipes again and again, I really like to throw out curveballs during the holidays and I’ve got a delicious one you will love! I think classically Pumpkin Pie Bars are made with an all-butter or shortening pie crust. But have you ever turned golden oreos into a crust of any kind? Oh mama, its good. Sweet, buttery and no messing with rolling pins or fitting the dough into your baking pan. Simply crush your golden oreos in a food processor or blender, stir together with some melted butter and press into your baking pan. That’s it! The filling is actually the more traditional part of this recipe which shouldn’t leave you wondering.

Main Ingredients Needed

I’m not gonna lie, this list is pretty darn short, mainly because these pumpkin pie bars are truly *that* easy to make. All exact measurements and directions are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Golden Oreos– we’ve talked about these already, but absolutely use them if you can find them! If you’d rather try a graham cracker crust, by all means go for it.
• Melted butter– to hold your crust together.
• Pumpkin– we’ll use an entire 15 oz can…which is just shy of 2 cups total.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk– another whole can to use! Told you this was easy.
• Eggs– to hold the filling together and onto the crust.
• Cinnamon + Nutmeg– classic flavors when working with pumpkin. Pumpkin Pie Spice is totally fine to substitute as well.
• Salt– just a pinch needed to help bring out the sweet and spicy flavors.

These certainly make a statement at any Thanksgiving table, especially when dressed up with whipped cream and crushed gingersnap cookies (and with not a lot of work!) They are a great make-ahead dessert for the holidays and couldn’t be simpler. Here’s how to make them:

1. Crush oreos and stir together with melted butter. Press into greased 9×13 pan.
2. Make the filling: whisk pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together until smooth.
3. Pour filling over crust and smooth the top.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until filling is completely set.
5. Cool at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate up to 4 days. Cut into bars and serve.
