Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and line 8x8 metal baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together coconut sugar, pumpkin purée and cashew butter. Add in oil, eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Add in almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to combine then fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Transfer batter to lined pan, sprinkle with more chocolate chips, and bake for 22-27 minutes, or until edges are golden and middle is set. Allow pan to cool for 15 minutes (add flaked sea salt here if you’d like) before transferring to fridge to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- SPICES: if you do not prefer the taste of pumpkin spice and chocolate together, you can omit the spices and use an equal amount of espresso powder instead.
- STORAGE: stored, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, in the fridge for 4 days.
- FREEZE: transfer chilled squares to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw to room temperature before enjoying.
- VEGAN OPTION: This recipe tested well using a flax egg replacement. It did not test well using a store-bought "egg replacer".
