Awesome Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Bar Recipe

Recipes with pumpkin are fun anytime but they really make the autumn and holiday season exciting!  Here is a great recipe for gluten-free pumpkin bars:

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs, beaten (or egg substitute)
• 15-ounce can pumpkin or fresh cooked pumpkin
• 1 1/3 cups sugar (other equivalent of other sweetener)
• 1 cup vegetable oil or applesauce
• 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger or nutmeg (for a fun twist, add pinch of cardamom)
• Icing, frosting, coconut flakes or any other topping 🙂

Directions:

1    Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Set aside a 10- by 15-inch baking pan (or, for a fluffier version, a 9- by 13-inch pan). Beat together eggs (or egg substitute), pumpkin, sugar (or other sweetener) and oil until well blended.

2    Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, the ginger / nutmeg, or other spices. Mix until smooth, then spread the batter in your pan. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool. 

3    Apply desired topping & enjoy!

A great tip for the season is to order organic gluten-free baking mix in bulk so you can be ready to make lots of goodies 🙂

Hope you love these as much as I do!
