I love everything that comes with fall!!!
But especially pumpkin spice:)
Great new recipe: by Chocolate Covered Katie
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip
Cookie Bars
§ 1 1/2 cups spelt or white flour (180g) (Oat
flour works; the texture is just a bit denser.)
§ 1/2 tsp salt
§ 1 tsp baking powder
§ 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
§ 1/4 cup rolled oats (20g)
§ 1/2 cup brown sugar or date sugar (90g)
§ 1/2 cup to 1 cup chocolate chips, depending on
how chocolatey you want the bars
§ 1/2 cup vegetable or melted coconut oil (80g)
§ 1/2 cup canned or pureed pumpkin or sweet
potato (120g)
§ 2 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (10g)
§ pinch uncut stevia, or 1 tbsp sugar of choice
§ 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey (If strict vegan, don’t
use honey.) (45g)
Preheat the oven to
325 degrees. Line the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set
aside. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the first 7 ingredients. In a
separate bowl, whisk all remaining ingredients. Pour wet over dry, and stir to
form a batter. Spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake 25 minutes. They will
still look undercooked when you take them out, but this is okay. They continue
to cook as they cool. Let cool for 20 minutes, and if they’re not firm enough
yet, refrigerate overnight. They will firm up nicely! Makes 15-24 squares,
depending on how large you cut them.
Cannot wait to try them. This gives me such joy:)
Namaste to all....
