Pumpkin Pie Squares

I am so excited that our holiday recipe swap-a-thon is underway! From now until Christmas my sweet P31 sisters are sharing their holiday recipes with us but another swap-a-thon will begin in the new year. And YOU are going to be doing the swapping! How much fun will that be? More news on that to come. But today…

Let me introduce you to my sweet friend Luann. Luann is our prayer warrior extraordinaire. Seriously, the woman has some sort of radar. She starts praying before you even tell her what you need prayer for! She knows! It’s creepy. Good creepy!

I have spent a couple of weekends at Luann’s beautiful home by the lake. In addition to being an amazing prayer warrior and friend, Luann is a wonderful hostess. When I arrive she has treats in my room! She’s even lined up an in-home massage. Yup… that’s right. A massage! I know you want to be her friend too. She would like that. And that’s why she is sharing her special recipe for Pumpkin Pie Squares.

Friends… meet Luann. Enjoy her pumpkiny treats. I’m going to dream about the hammock by her lake.

Luann’s Pumpkin Pie Squares

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sifted flour
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 15 oz can pumpkin
  • 13.5 oz can evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup butter. Mix until crumbly. Press into an ungreased 13×9-inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend well. Pour into crust. Bake for 20 minutes.

Combine pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle over filling. Return to the oven and bake 15-20 more minutes or until set.

Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares. Makes 2 dozen.

Sweetest Blessings,
LeAnn

LeAnn, tell Luann I am going to use Splenda brown sugar for my diabetic mother in law! She will absolutely love these and I won’t tell the rest of the family, they will never know. Thanks.

I love this recipe!! We made it for our church potluck on sunday, and I am now planning on making a couple of them for Thanksgiving to feed our large family rather then pies, as these will go further.. Could I share this recipe on my blog? Thanks! Katie

Hi Katie,

Yes, you are welcome to share the recipe on your blog. Thank you for asking :)

Blessings,
LeAnn
