Happy Thursday, friends!
Every fall, I try really hard to make one “it recipe” that my kiddos love that’s VERY fall while also being VERY gluten-free and VERY delicious.
You know, one labor of love.
May I introduce you to this year’s labor of love…our PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE OREO BROWNIES 🙂 .
We baked, we tweaked, we added everything but the kitchen sink to this recipe and over time, we made the most delicious bar for your Halloween, your Thanksgiving…your fall. Bonus, if you use gluten-free Oreos (we love the double stuffed version!) and gluten-free flour, these yummy bars are g-free family friendly too.

Description
We baked, we tweaked, we added everything but the kitchen sink to this recipe and over time, we made the most delicious bar for your Halloween, your Thanksgiving…your fall. Bonus, if you use gluten-free Oreos (we love the double stuffed version!) and gluten-free flour, these yummy bars are g-free family friendly too. A little chocolate, a little Oreo and some pumpkin too. It’s a winning combination! From our kitchen to yours, Happy Fall Baking! xx
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
- 2¼ cups sugar (divided)
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup of pumpkin (we use Libbys)
- 1½ tablespoons cocoa powder (we use this one)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup of butter, melted and cooled
- 1½ flour (we use gluten-free Namaste flour)
- 1½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (we use Gluten-Free Double Stuff)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9×12 baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat your cream cheese and ¼ cup of sugar together until combined and then beat in one of your eggs. Next, beat in your pumpkin. Set this bowl aside.
- In a second mixing bowl, add your remaining 2 cups of sugar, remaining 4 eggs, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking powder. Beat this until combined with your electric mixer. Then beat in your melted butter. After that, beat in your flour. Finally, stir in your crushed Oreo cookies.
- Spread the chocolate Oreo mixture across the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Next, spread your pumpkin cream cheese mixture down over the top as a second layer. Taking a butter knife, swirl the cream cheese top down into the bottom layer across the pan.
- Pop your baking dish in the oven and bake about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bars comes out clean.
- Remove bars from oven and allow to cool on counter about 15 minutes before cutting into bars and serving. Store any remaining bars in the fridge.
Notes
This recipe is easy to make gluten-free if you simply swap out the Oreos and flour for g-free varieties.

Wow!! These seem like pretty much the perfect Halloween treat! Quick question – how much cocoa powder do you use?

Oh gosh, did I omit that? Agh! Let me edit right now! Sorry! Thanks for catching it!
Amy says
Can I use almond flour instead?
Mix and Match Mama says
I personally don’t love almond flour as a 1 to 1 substitute for regular flour. If you try it, I would be curious about the results. I prefer a Namaste or a Cup 4 Cup instead.
