Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars image

It took me a long time to develop this quick-and-easy recipe, but I'm so happy with how it turned out. These bars have it all-sugar and spice and a light, creamy-rich pumpkin layer that's especially nice! -Erin Andrews, Edgewater, Florida

The bars were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as moist as I expected.

I found the bars to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more pumpkin puree next time.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I actually really enjoyed these bars. They're not too sweet and the oats give them a nice texture.
