pumpkin squares

did a cross between this recipe (scroll down to "Pumpkin Pie Squares") and this one.

CRUST
3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. oats
1/2 c. chopped  nuts*
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, melted

mix all dry ingredients together.  i used pre-chopped walnuts.  pour melted butter over top.  combine.  pat into pan.  this did not make enough for a 13 x 9 pan (would probably have to double).  patted into my tart pan. bake "blind" at 350 for 15 min.
NEXT TIME: chop nuts finer.  OK as is, but a little chunky.  could probably get away with a lower butter:other stuff ratio.

FILLING
2 eggs
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t ginger (ground)
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 t salt

pour into pre-baked crust.  continue to bake for ~30 min.  (andy took it out of the oven for me, so i don't know how long it actually took).  NOTES: this made too much filling for my tart pan.  perhaps a deeper pie pan would have been better.  (the tart pan made the crust look nice though...)  poured the extra filling into a cupcake tin & baked with pie/squares

VERDICT: yummy!  easy!  a keeper!
