Healthy Pumpkin Pie Bars
Healthy Pumpkin Pie Bars are easy, dreamy and delicious. They taste just like classic pumpkin pie in a bar form but have so many more nutritional benefits and are good for you. Made with a date nut crust and spiced pumpkin filling!
Servings: 12 bars
Ingredients
For the date nut crust
- 10 dates soaked in hot water for 30 minutes and pits removed
- 2 cups walnuts or pecans
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the pumpkin pie filling
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1 whole egg
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil or butter melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons 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 or 7x 11 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 large bowl. Pour over the crust layer and put back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The top will be a super light golden brown color and the center shouldn't be too jiggly and mostly set.
- 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 if you want and enjoy!
