These healthy pumpkin pie bars are creamy, dreamy and delicious. They tastes just like pumpkin pie but have so many more nutritional benefits! You will want to make these year-round.

Pumpkin Pie Bars 1

It’s pumpkin pieeeee timeeee! FINALLY. Pumpkin pie happens to be my favorite pie of all time. Although I only eat it a few times a year…every time I have a slice I always think to myself why I don’t eat it more and then I realized because well, its PIE.

I made these because…..
1. My Dad gave me a HUGE bag of walnuts and I had no idea what to do with them
2. I love pumpkin pie

Pumpkin Pie Bars 2

These bars are made with a walnut-date base crust and the filling tastes just like pie with spicy pumpkin and I used whole grains and nutrient dense, Kodiak Cakes flour that made it extra fluffy.

These bars make a great dessert to bring to any holiday gathering! I  just made another batch of this recipe this week and I keep them in my fridge and pack a few to bring to work for either breakfast or a snack!

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 10 dates; soaked in hot water for 30 minutes and pits removed
  • 2 cups walnuts or pecans
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
  • For the pumpkin pie filling:
  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tbsp. coconut oil; melted
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 3 Tbsp. white sugar optional
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup Kodiak Cakes flapjack & waffle mix

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For the crust, combine all of the ingredients in food processor. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and press mixture into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile the crust is cooking, make your pumpkin filling! Whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Pour over the crust layer and put back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove from oven and let cool until pumpkin is set. I like to put my bars in the fridge to cool completely and then cut into squares.
  • *Top with whipped cream or a simple icing, or enjoy as is!

    Would this work without the Kodiak Cakes flapjack & waffle mix? I don’t want to have to buy a box just to use 1/2 cup if I don’t have to as I doubt i would ever use the rest. Thank you.

    Hi Cherylnn! Great question! You do not have to use the Kodiak cake mix. There are a few different options 1) You can simply use regular pancake/waffle mix. 2) You can use 1/4 oatmeal and 1/4 cup pancake/waffle mix. If you use the oatmeal I suggest putting it in a food processor to make oat flour. 3) You can use 1/2 cup of ground oat. Please keep in mind the bars won’t be as sweet in flavor. Hope that helps you! 🙂

    I make something very similar and freeze it. The trick is to reheat it in the oven and not the microwave (which makes it weird and soggy).
