Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until it forms a dough. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and coconut milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the pumpkin filling over the almond flour crust, carefully spreading it to ensure an even layer.
- Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and slice into squares.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Use fresh pumpkin puree for better flavor.
