Chocolate Pumpkin Golden Crumble Bars
Picture a warm kitchen, a fresh cup of coffee, and a slice of something homemade. That is the mood behind this chocolate pumpkin golden crumble bars, where rich chocolate and mellow pumpkin make a seasonal favorite feel extra inviting. A lovely recipe to add to your fall baking rotation.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Methods:
1. Heat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment. Rub the cold butter into the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until clumps form.
2. Set aside about one cup of the crumb mixture for the top. Stir the egg and vanilla into the remaining crumbs to make a soft base, then press it firmly into the prepared pan.
3. Toss the featured fruit or flavor ingredients together. If using juicy fruit, add 1 teaspoon flour from the measured amount to help keep the center from becoming wet.
4. Spread the filling over the base and scatter the reserved crumbs on top. Bake 30 to 38 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
5. Cool completely before slicing into bars. For the cleanest cuts, chill the pan for 30 minutes and wipe the knife between slices.
