Pumpkin Pie Bars

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. Splenda sugar substitute
1/4 c. light margarine
1/3 c. water
1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 c. chopped pecans
8 oz light cream cheese
3 egg whites
15 oz canned pumpkin
1 TB pumpkin pie spice

Preheat 350*. Mix flour, brown sugar, and ¼ cup of Splenda in medium bowl; cut in margarine with a fork. Add about 1/3 cup water so mixture will form coarse crumbs. Stir in oats. Reserve one cup of the oat mixture and add pecans to it; set aside. Press oat mixture into 13x9 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes. Beat cream cheese, egg whites, ½ cup Splenda, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice with electric mixer. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 25 minutes. Store leftover bars in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
