Pumpkin Streusel Bars​

Ingredients​

Streusel Topping and Crust:

• 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ¼ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened

Filling:

• 4 blocks (32 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves
• 1 ¼ teaspoons ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions​

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Prepare Crust and Streusel Topping: In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, oats, chopped pecans, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press ⅔ of this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate the remaining crumb mixture.
3. Bake Crust: Bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
4. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
5. Layer Filling: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. Mix the pumpkin puree and spices into the remaining cheesecake mixture, then spread this pumpkin layer over the plain cheesecake layer.
6. Add Streusel Topping: Sprinkle the reserved streusel topping evenly over the pumpkin layer.
7. Bake Bars: Bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into bars and serving.
