Ingredients

for the glaze:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang for easy removal; set aside.
  • Next, whisk the pumpkin, egg, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a large bowl. Then, add the sugar, pumpkin spice spice and baking soda and stir until the mixture it smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place it into the oven and bake the bars for 30-35 minutes or until the center has set.
  • Remove them from the oven and transfer the dish onto a cooling rack. Let the bars cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing (see notes below).
  • Before serving, make the maple glaze: whisk maple syrup and powdered sugar together, then drizzle it over the bars.
  • Slice into 9 large or 16 small bars and enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are for 1 bar and are an estimation
*These bars are a similar texture to pumpkin pie filling; therefore, I find it best to chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing (similar to what you'd do with pumpkin pie). They're also on the more delicate side since they're flourless, so keep that in mind! 
*Storage: store bars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
*I haven't tried making these vegan (recipe tips in blog post), but if you do, please let me know so I can update the post for others!
