Ingrediente

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup pumpkin puree (preferably canned, NOT pumpkin pie filling, but homemade works too)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp heavy cream (or substitute dairy-free milk/heavy cream)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup powdered sugar

3 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt (optional)

Instrucțiuni

Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line or grease a 9×13-inch baking pan

Make the batter: Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, and heavy cream until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional spices. Add to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no dry streaks remain—avoid overmixing.

Prepare the crumb topping: In another bowl, blend softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble: Spread the batter evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping all over—avoid packing it down; let it sit loosely.

Bake for about 27–35 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars (this ensures cleaner edges and helps the crumb topping set).

Glaze Step (optional): Once the bars are fully cooled, mix up the maple glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the top. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing so the glaze firms up and slices stay clean.
