Low Carb Pumpkin Bars


I am of the opinion that pumpkin should not just be relegated to fall and Thanksgiving! It’s so much fun to incorporate this delicious squash into my food all months of the year.

Low Carb Pumpkin Bars

Pumpkin is also a high-nutrition, low-cal addition to baked goods; and canned organic pumpkin in available all year round; why wouldn’t we incorporate it more?

Low Carb Pumpkin Bars

These simple one-bowl pumpkin bars are a great way to do just that.  They’re moist, sweet, and cinnamony and are the perfect treat or snack!

Comments

  1. Could you suggest how the recipe may be different with Almond Flour instead of Coconut?

  2. Thank you for making sugar-free (and lower-sweetener!) recipes, Heather. I (and many others) appreciate it! 🙂
    Can’t wait to try this!

  3. Thanks Heather. I’d like to let everyone know that at My Food Real Life there’s information about sweetener substitutions, and amounts, for Stevia and other sweeteners.

  4. I’d really like to try these pumpkin bars, but I absolutely detest Stevia and all other lab-made sweeteners. They all have an extremely bitter taste to me. Is there a way to make reliable substitutions with honey, or maple or date or coconut sugar?

    Thanks.
