I made half a batch of these in an 8 by 8-inch pan, which is a little bigger than half of a 9 by 13-inch pan, so my bars were pretty thin. Even so, it took quite a lot longer than is indicated here for the topping to firm up. These are fairly tasty, but I think I would prefer a different crust. It is an interesting idea. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.

With autumn finally in the air around here, I was in the mood to bake something with pumpkin. This recipe was just what I was looking for--basically like a pumpkin pie, but made into bars. They were delicious. (We shared with our neighbors and they agreed. :) ) I liked the oats in the crust and thought the crust was best on the first day. I did bake a bit longer, as they weren't quite set up enough after 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

My family and I just loved this recipe the crust was kind of hard but that made it work out really well for bars. I'm wondering if the 20 min for the top was a typo it took 40 to 60 for mine to firm up after only 20 it was still mush. Thank you again for the recipe definitely a keeper :)
