I would love to say these are 'no guilt' pumpkin bars, but to be honest, after 6 or 7 of them... in one day... yes, there is a bit of guilt. But just a bit! No flour. No sugar. But yum!
Pumpkin Bars
3/4 c almond flour
1/4 c coconut flour
2 t oat flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
2/3 c pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1/4 c coconut oil
1/4 c Ideal Brown Sugar substitute
3/4 c granular sugar free sweetener of your choice
1 1/2 t vanilla
In a bowl mix the almond, coconut and oat flours with the baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, just use about 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 t ginger, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. In another bowl mix the pumpkin, eggs and oil. Add the sugar substitutes and vanilla. Pour into a greased pan of your choice. 10X10", 12X8", 8X8" - the bigger the pan, the thinner the bar. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-40 minutes depending on how big of a pan you used.
Cool Completely. Frost with a basic cream cheese frosting. You mix one version up by beating together 8 oz. cream cheese with 3 T butter, 2 t vanilla, 1/4 c sugar substitute (I used Just Like Sugar and Ideal Brown Sugar - mixed together, with about 10 drops liquid sweetener). Refrigerate.
