Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • 15 ounces (425g) canned 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides, and grease lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice, whisking vigorously to combine.
  5. Stir in pumpkin puree and thick coconut milk until the mixture is smooth and uniform with no lumps.
  6. Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
  7. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set.
  8. Lift bars out using the parchment sling and cut into 12 squares. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure coconut milk is full-fat for proper texture. Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Bars must cool completely before cutting to set properly. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
