Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking dish
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil, butter, or nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, coconut flour, maple syrup, almond milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips or any optional stir-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit.
- Pour the batter into your greased baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours before slicing. This helps them set and enhances the flavor.
- Cut into 9 squares and serve cold straight from the fridge. Perfect with coffee, tea, or as a sweet, healthy treat any time of day.
Notes
Chill before slicing for clean edges. Customize with your favorite mix-ins like pecans, dried cranberries, or coconut flakes. Use oat flour for a cake-like texture.
