Frosted Pumpkin Bars

Recipe adapted from Detoxinista to be FODMAP free. These are seriously amazing and taste like pumpkin peanut butter cake!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 baking pan. Mix all ingredients together until smooth and pour into baking pan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until edges are slightly brown and start to pull away from the pan.

For the Icing:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp almond milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• sprinkle of cinnamon

Stir together ingredients until smooth. Apply a thin layer over over un-sliced pumpkin bars. Once set, slice and serve!


*Tip: I like to use coconut oil to grease baking pans. It's healthier than many other oils and contains good fats which boost metabolism and aid in digestion, among many other benefits. Watch out for cooking sprays which may contain wheat.
