These Pumpkin Streusel Bars are MARVELOUS! Moist tender cake, topped with a sugar-y cinnamon-y nutmeg-y streusel topping and finished off with a light maple glaze. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, and any time in between. 😉
Happy baking!
This is a version of our popular Sheet Cake recipe, Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting, which is also amazing, but more rich than these streusel bars.
If you want something with no frosting, or something more like coffee cake, give these Pumpkin Streusel Bars a try! The cake itself is moist and so pumpkin-y. Add on the streusel- that bakes up nice and crunchy. Just perfect!
The Maple Glaze is totally optional and not even needed, but I think it adds that final touch in look and taste. Don’t the bars with the glaze look beautiful? 🙂 And I personally LOVE maple, so it was necessary for me to add this simple glaze.
We love our sheet cake recipes and always want to share our favorite (the BEST!) sheet cake pan with you. If you don’t have it yet, order it HERE!!! It even comes with a lid for easy storing and transporting.

OK, so I just made my maple glaze and it came out brown. Because might be able flavoring is brown in color. Your picture shows a white glaze. I am confused.
We used clear maple extract, but if yours is brown that’s totally ok! 🙂 Hope it tastes good!
