In a mixing bowl, stir together the oats, half the maple syrup, the cinnamon, a pinch of the salt, and the melted butter until well combined. Line a 6x6 inch container with parchment paper. Press the oat mixture firmly into the bottom using the back of a spoon to form a solid, even layer.
In the same bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, canned pumpkin, the rest of the maple syrup, the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and the remaining salt until completely smooth.
Spoon the pumpkin filling over the oat base in dollops. Gently spread it into an even layer about 1/2 inch thick, being careful not to disturb the crust. Place in the freezer to set for 25 minutes until the top is firm.
Lift the parchment paper to remove the slab from the container and let it stand at room temperature for 5 to 7 minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts to slice the slab into 3 bars.
