Pumpkin Pie Bars with Creamy Vanilla Frosting (Paleo)

Servings: 8
Calories: 298kcal

Ingredients

For the Bars

  • 15 oz can pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup coconut flour
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp milk of choice (I used coconut milk)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • coconut oil

For the Frosting

  • 1/2 cup coconut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (I used full-fat, canned)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Add all of the bar ingredients to a large bowl, and stir until combined & smooth.
  • Grease a 8" square baking dish with coconut oil so that the bars don't stick.
  • Pour the batter in and smooth out the top.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned around the edges.
  • Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled.  Slice them when they're cold~ it's easier!
  • To make the frosting, add the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until smooth & creamy.  Try heating the coconut butter a bit if it's difficult to smooth out, and make sure your jar of coconut butter is fully mixed before hand.
  • Spread the frosting over each bar, and store extra frosting in the refrigerator so it doesn't get too melty.  Make sure you mix it up each time you remove from the fridge.  :)
