- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg

- Assemble and bake:
- Pour filling over the pre-baked crust.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, or until filling is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and serve:

Tips & Variations
- Nutty twist: Add a pecan or walnut crumble on top.
- Mini bars: Bake in a muffin tin for individual servings.
- Extra creamy: Use half-and-half or evaporated milk instead of regular milk.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of ginger or allspice for more depth.
These bars are soft, sweet, and perfectly spiced—basically pumpkin pie vibes without the fuss 😏.
If you want, I can give a no-bake sweet potato bar version that sets in the fridge—super quick and just as tasty.
Do you want me to do that?
