Made with seasonal flavors, these Pumpkin Cheesecake bars are lightened up with Greek yogurt, but still taste sinfully delicious.

These Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are made with your favorite seasonal flavors and are lightened up with Greek yogurt!

My last several posts have all been dessert recipes.

‘Tis the season for lots of treats I guess, right?

I promise to share a “real food” recipe soon, but I just had to show you these amazing Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars first.  The crust is light and the filling is sooooo incredibly creamy no one will miss all the extra calories in these.  But you know what, this is the time of year that we all just splurge a little more, whether it’s cocktails, desserts or indulgent main dishes.  Why not cut back on some of the calories?

Side note: I never said these were calorie-free or even low calorie for that matter.  So that’s not a license to overdo it.

Good luck with that.

And I don’t know about you, but I bake somewhere around 15 dozen cookies a couple of weeks before Christmas to have for my family as well as to give as gifts.  That’s a heck of a lot of cookies! But the beauty of these bars, and my Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, and my Cheesecake Bars, Crunchy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Bars and my Almond Butter Fudge Bars is that are NO BAKE! So you can save the oven for baking those other treats! 

I am a genius, I tell you.

    Pumpkin EVERYWHERE! I love pumpkin pies and soups, but it’s usually so heavy on the stomach. That’s why I love your lightened up version! It looks totally delicious, and I really don’t mind the dessert recipes 😉
