PUMPKIN PIE BARS

These are SO yummy! If you don’t like pumpkin, you could make these as “Squash Pie Bars” as well. They are delicious either way! Perfect for the fall season, but so good year round too!

This recipe targets:

Grain-Free | Dairy-Free | Refined Sugar-Free | Vegan Friendly | Paleo

What some people look forward to most about the holiday season is the food. I LOVE these kinds of recipes because nearly everyone can enjoy it since it is so allergen friendly!

Steps

Step 1

Let’s start off with the crust! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Add your wet ingredients and then dry ingredients into a mixer until it’s well combined and dough-y. Press dough into the pan evenly, and bake for 13-15 minutes (until puffs up) and then let cool.

Step 2

Make the filling while the crust bakes! In a large bowl or mixer, mix the filling ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Then, pour it over the crust after the crust has cooled.

Step 3

After pouring the filling over the crust, bake for 40-60 minutes until the filling is set and firm. Remove it and let it cool completely!

Step 4

Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Cut it into bars, top with coconut whipped cream, monkfruit powdered sugar, etc. ENJOY! :)
