These Pumpkin Butterscotch Bars cookie bars are the perfect Fall dessert – moist and chewy, made lighter with pumpkin puree and studded with butterscotch chips.

Pumpkin Butterscotch Cookie Bars

all purpose flour (Gold Medal)

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

tsp pumpkin pie spice

sugar

unsalted butter

tsp pure vanilla extract

butterscotch chips

oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese (softened)

chocolate

tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Lightly spray a 9 x 13 inch non-stick baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice and cinnamon and stir to blend.

In another bowl, whisk the sugars with the butter, egg whites, pumpkin and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.

Fold in butterscotch chips.

Spread batter onto the baking pan using the back of a measuring cup to smooth evenly.

Bake 14-16 minutes, until the edges are light brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Don't over-bake or your bars will be dry.

Let it cool completely on wire rack.

Meanwhile, prepare the frosting; in a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until well-blended.

Frost bars and drizzle with the melted chocolate. *To melt the chocolate, place in a microwave safe cup and heat 15 seconds; stir. Another 15 seconds; stir until the chocolate is melted.

When the chocolate sets, cut into 15 large squares (5 cuts by 3 cuts with the knife).

Then cut each square in half diagonally to create triangles.

Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

A Thanksgiving dessert table is never complete without the pumpkin pie. To lighten this up, I use less sugar and a thinner crust, but you can't tell!

A pumpkin is a cultivar of a squash plant, most commonly of Cucurbita pepo, that is round, with smooth, slightly ribbed skin, and deep yellow to orange coloration.

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water.

Lightly dust a large cutting board or flat surface with flour. Roll out a room temperature pie crust sheet, so that it becomes thin enough to cut off about 30%, so that your final crust is 5 oz.

Place into a 9-inch pie dish, cutting off excess dough.

Place pumpkin puree in a large bowl. Add butter, and mix well.

Using an electric mixer, mix in brown sugar, milk, eggs, egg whites, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth.

Pour filling into unbaked pie crust. Bake about 70 to 75 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Cut into 10 slices and serve with whipped coconut cream or whipped cream if desired.

I loved the lighter version of this. The filling was more mousse like than a heavy filling. I usually like to roll my purchased pie crusts thinner, so it worked well and was flaky and light. Because the texture and taste is lighter, I did "supplement" a pecan topping. Basically melted butter, sugar and chopped pecans which I spread over the pie after it was baked for about 30 min. Yes, it upped the calories and fat. Ill experiment to reduce the amounts of both. But lived the pie!

I've made this pie numerous times, and it's always delicious. We have a diabetic family member, so I sub Splenda brown sugar blend. It's one of few low-sugar pie recipes, so I make it for much more than just Thanksgiving. Making on today for "Pi Day" (3.14).

Absolutely delicious. I made my own pumpkin purée using your recipe and then made the pie. Just wow !!! 🥧

This skinny pumpkin pie tastes just like the original - SERIOUSLY! I made this for a friendsgiving and no one knew the difference! I highly recommend this, it's my go-to pumpkin pie recipe!

Thanks for the great recepie!
Do you think I can use almon milk instead of fat free milk?
