Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4-6 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the crust tough.
  • Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan. Prick the crust all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
  • Bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the pumpkin filling over the pre-baked crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
  • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least an hour to make them easier to cut.

Notes
