• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.

For crust:

• In the bowl of a mixer, add flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
• Add in egg, browned butter, and vanilla extract.
• Mix until the dough sticks together and can be pressed together. When you first start mixing it will be very crumbly looking. Just keep mixing and it will come together.
• Take dough and press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
• Rinse out mixer bowl to use for the filling.

For filling:

• In the bowl of your mixer add pumpkin puree and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes.
• Add in eggs, browned butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
• Finally, mix in brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.
• When the mixture is smooth and combined pour into the pan with the crust.
• Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is just slightly jiggly.
• Let cool until room temperature, cut into bars and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
