I made these bars for a fun fall dessert and they were amazing. The whole family enjoyed them. They had a great fluffy texture and delicious pumpkin flavor. The chocolate chips give them such extra sweetness and are very good. The whole pan was almost gone by the end of the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a scrumptious fall dessert!

Can you use coconut oil?
Emili says
Could almond flour be substituted in this recipe?
June says
In a slightly different recipe, I used 1/2 almond flour and 1/2 quinoa flour and I thought they turned out great. I also cut down on the sugar.

I made these bars for the first time and took them to work. All day long my coworkers were raving about how good they were, with just the right amount of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Several even asked for the recipe. I topped them with homemade cream cheese icing and wow, it made my eyes roll back in my head, they were that good!
