Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Your favorite fall pie meets gooey cookie goodness in these Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars with pecan crust, date-sweetened filling, and lots of chocolate chips!

Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars

Not to say pumpkin pie isn’t already magical enough, because I firmly believe it is. But I never say no to extra magic. And if magic = coconut whipped cream on top I am a-okay with extra of that too.

You guys thought I was crazy about ice cream. HA. That obsession is nothing compared to my obsession with pumpkin pie. The first official month of fall came, the canned good shelf of my pantry became the canned pumpkin shelf, and my imagination began plotting new twists on pumpkin pie almost immediately. This is still my go-to classic crust + filling style recipe, but there is so much space left (in the world and my pumpkin-loving stomach) for un-classsic orange-spiced experimentation.

And these Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars are pie un-classic in a step-aside-circles-where-have-these-squares-been-all-my-life! kinda way.

Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars

I posted a couple of vegan magic cookie bar recipes over the summer – the original and the blueberry version. Neither use or require making your own sweetened condensed milk. Both have been BIG hits. But these.

Dare I say better than original version? I dare.

Dare I say better than pumpkin pie? You tell me – does pumpkin pie have chocolate chips baked in? I think we both know the answer then.

This magic bar version is a little different though, in ways other than the obvious orange-ness. And you can thank the beautiful people over at Natural Delights for that. For gracing us all with their most delectable Medjool dates, which are pretty much magic materialized into fruit form, and inspiring me to make this magic cookie bar version even easier/healthier/fruitier than any that came before it. This version is 100% fruit-sweetened from gooey delicious top to chewy cookie bottom.

(P.S. Have you spotted the Pumpkin Pie Spiced Date Rolls yet this year? Cannot wait for those to return!)

Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars

The cookie crust. Do you know what pairs just swimmingly with pumpkin and it’s posse of warming spices? Pecans. It’s a new-ish fact in my life that I’m still processing and testing as often as possible, but I think I believe the hype. This nugget of nutty knowledge is what led me to jump out of my almond flour rut and revisit the good old date + nut crust, which I haven’t made in longer than memory can recall.

It is a two-ingredient technique often reserved for raw treats, but it bakes into a delicious cookie base too. You will need a blender or food processor to break down and blend up these two whole food ingredients, but it only takes about 10 seconds to make and maybe a minute longer to press into the pan. Give or take 30 seconds depending on how much of a perfectionist you are with these sorts of tasks.

Any type of nut will work if pecans aren’t our thing, or even seeds of some sort to skip the nutty-ness entirely.

Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars

Pumpin pie layer. Now comes the really good stuff. The stuff before was good too, but not make-you-want-to-lick-every-inch-of-your-blender good.

These may be magic cookie bars, but in FOF fashion we are skipping the sweetened condensed milk in favor of fruitier things. I did not use bananas this time because I didn’t want them to compete with the pumpkin pie flavor, so instead I used a combination of pumpkin puree (I always go with organic because it just tastes better) and Medjool dates. You will also need non-dairy milk to help it blend, arrowroot starch to thicken and set as the bars bake and cool, and spices because it’s fall.

Chocolate chips + coconut + more pecans. Sprinkled on, squished in, and off to the oven we go!

After baking the bars do need to chill overnight. But your patience will be rewarded. Pinky pumpkin pie promise.

Description

Your favorite fall pie meets gooey cookie goodness in these Pumpkin Pie Magic Cookie Bars with pecan crust, spiced filling, and lots of chocolate chips!


Ingredients

Scale

Pecan Crust

  • 1 1/2 cup pecans ((or any nut will work))
  • 6–8 pitted Medjool dates

Pumpkin Pie Layer

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 8–10 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • 2 tsps pumpkin pie spice
  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. For the crust, combine the pecans and Medjool dates in a food processor or blender. Process until it forms a sticky crumbly mixture. 
  2. Press into the bottom of a baking dish (I used this 8×5″ glass dish) lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a high speed blender, combine the pumpkin, Medjool dates, non-dairy milk, arrowroot, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add an extra 1 tbsp milk if necessary to get it to blend.
  4. Pour on top of the crust.
  5. Sprinkle a generous layer each of coconut, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Gently smush into the pumpkin layer.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350F or until the top is starting to brown and the center does not jiggle.
  7. Cool, then chill overnight.
  8. The following day, slice into squares and enjoy! Keep in the fridge for up to a week.

More pumpkin things in case you are obsessed too…
– Forget the crust, and just skip straight to the pumpkin part
– Abundant in pumpkin, spices, and cuteness
– You know what’s great sandwiched in-between chocolate? Pumpkin.
– Making up for the lack of bananas in those magic bars
– Sugar-coated. Literally.

    These are fall PERFECTION. I’m in 100% agreement that a good vegan/date sweetened pumpkin pie is pretty damn magical, but like you said, we can never have too much magic!! Love that you used a date and nut crust, too. So crazy how it somehow tastes like cookie dough, like what?! Anyway, per usual you’ve made these look divine, dare I say better than classic pumpkin pie?! So perfect for fall!!

    Hi! Is it essential to use the arrowroot starch? I’ve never used that before. I’d just have to run out and get it. Thx!

    • Natalie says

      September 15, 2017 at 4:27 pm

      The arrowroot is what makes them set and slice cleanly, so I do not recommend skipping it or you may have to eat them out of the pan with a spoon. But you can sub cornstarch or tapioca starch if you have either of those!

          I don’t love potato starch for this sort of recipe, it doesn’t set up quite as well and can make for a slightly…starchy/grainy texture (lol need a better descriptor that isn’t in the name of the ingredient). But you can certainly try it. Cornstarch or tapioca would work though!

    Pumpkin pie was always my favorite, and I look forward to fall when it’s more appropriate to be obsessed with it. 😉 These look absolutely amazing…I can only imagine how tough it’s going to be to let them chill overnight without eating them or even sneaking a bite!

    Hello! These look lovely 🙂 can I replace the dates with another sweetener instead?

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      September 16, 2017 at 9:06 pm

      For the filling or crust? For the crust you could use a different type of dried fruit instead or use this crust recipe that is made with maple syrup: https://www.feastingonfruit.com/blueberry-magic-cookie-bars/ And for the filling the dates add a lot of thickness so if you take them out and add another sweetener I’d recommend decreasing the amount of non-dairy milk and adding an extra tbsp of arrowroot. I cannot guarantee it will work as well, but that would be my best advice without having tested it 🙂

    This line had me laughing so hard…I don’t know why….”it’s posse of warming spices?’ but the fact you said posse just totally cracked me up, hahaha! Oh Natalie, you are the magic bar queen I tell ya! I’m definitely thinking these will be just as popular as the original because hello, pumpkin spice! Pumpkin spice to me is the whole definition of fall, I use it embarassingly too much. But it’s just SO good. And pecans are my favorite nut, so I love that you made these with pecans instead of almonds. My favorite cheesecake crust ever is made with pecans and they really are above all other nuts in terms of flavor and butteryness….although walnuts are a pretty darn close 2nd! You make me want to run to the kitchen right now and bake these. I can just smell them right now. So, what’s next on the magic bar list???? Gingerbread??? 😉

      Lolol when I was writing that I was like “what’s that annoying word for a group of high school girls???” Google came through for me, idk why that parallel even came to mind with the pumpkin pie spices but I’ve given up trying to understand my brain ha😂 Well you would be happy to know that in this case even I would ditch bananas in an instant for this version instead. Just can’t beat the pumpkin pie filling flavor. And finally I used pecans, aren’t you proud?? lol Almost switched to walnuts when I saw the price difference, but pumpkin pie is worth splurging for. I was thinking pecan pie next, but oh yes gingerbread will happen too! And somehow I have a feeling your kitchen is full of yummy aromas most of the time already😊

    OK, how did I miss your pumpkin oreos last year?! I need to make a double batch to make up for lost time! I totally love your blueberry magic bars, and I can only imagine this pumpkin & chocolate version is equally magical! They look just like some pumpkin pie bars I made last fall, but with a lot less ingredients, and I am totally down for simplicity. The faster they’re in the oven, and in my belly, the better!

    Hi Natalie,
    It looks like the chocolate chips aren’t essential to this recipe. Is that right? I’m just hoping that I can omit them. A lot of bars depend on them for structure, so I want to check before I try it.

      October 21, 2017 at 10:23 am

      You could use an 8×8″ as well, the bars will just be a bit thinner. 8×5″ is small, just slightly wider than a loaf pan, but makes a perfect 6 servings in my opinion 🙂

    Saw this recipe a couple of weeks ago and am finally going to get around to making these bars! I’m wondering, will walnuts be an okay substitute? I love pecans, but there’s a surplus of walnuts here at home. Also, is cornstarch a good substitute for arrowroot starch?

      Sure! I can tell you an exact number but for the crust it will be about 1/2-3/4 cup and for the filling about 1 cup. Or if you wanted to go by weight, about 100g for the crust and about 140g for the filling 🙂

    Another fun fruit-sweetened cooking adventure, thank you! Since I need to go way easy on the nuts, I made this with a mixed pumpkin seed/sunflower seed crust (with the dates, of course) and put the same fine-blended seed mix on top with plenty of coconut, 100% cacao chips and also seeded champagne raisins, just because I happened to have some left over and I was curious. Verdict: so good! The pumpkin seed/sunnies/dates crust works (albeit a bit crumbly) and the champagne raisins were a delightful surprise on top– oh, the sweet-tang of the raisins along with the gentle crunch of their seeds, besides the 100% choc chips and coconut– YES! In the future, I could also imagine using currants, instead of the raisins (still with the choc, coconut, seed blend).

    And I have to confess I didn’t read about the “chill overnight” part until rather too late. So I actually took some to a dinner, straight out of the hot pan and called it Pumpkin Magic Smouche (Smoosh?) instead of bars. It was pretty tasty that way, and also delightful post-chill, too. Thanks for another yummy one…

    Now…. what about pumpkin donuts? Using the coconut flour donuts recipe you have? Could that work, somehow, do you think?

Preheat the oven to 350F. Whisk together yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix to combine. Gently fold in the berries. Spread into a greased or lined baking dish (mine was 9x6”). In a small bowl combine all the crumble ingredients. Mix with a fork until clumpy. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake batter and press in gently. Bake for 38-40 minutes (the center should feel firm to the touch when it’s done). Remove from the oven, cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
