Gluten-Free Pumpkin Squares
A grain-free pumpkin treat that the whole family will love! Easy to make and so delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- ¾ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger about 1” piece
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly oil an 8x8” baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl or mixer, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, grated ginger and coconut sugar. In a separate bowl, add the remaining ingredients and sift/whisk to combine. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour the pumpkin bar batter into the baking dish. Spread all the way to the edges of the baking dish to ensure there is an even layer. Use a knife to spread the batter smooth; since this recipe includes coconut flour only, the batter will stay in the same position throughout baking that you put it in (it will not enlarge or rise).
- Bake 20 to 23 minutes until edges are golden brown. Allow to cool 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use sugar-free sweetener to make these pumpkin squares low-carb.
