It is officially pumpkin time around here, I will be posting on all things pumpkin later this week but wanted to start off with one of my favorite pumpkin treats that we have tweaked into a whole foods version - Pumpkin Bars.
The Recipe
Mix the following "wet" ingredients in a large bowl:
2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup honey
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix these dry ingredients in a separate bowl:
2 cupsmulti-grain flour (or flour of your choice)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup honey
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix these dry ingredients in a separate bowl:
2 cupsmulti-grain flour (or flour of your choice)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until well incorporated, pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once cool frost with Cream Cheese Frosting and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
