Notes
- Use an offset spatula to make sure both your pumpkin bar batter is spread in an even layer.
- Don’t be tempted to use pumpkin pie filling here, it’s not the same thing as pumpkin puree and you will not get good results.
- Leave out the salt if the almond butter is already salted.
- Pumpkin bars keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep your bars loosely covered, and it’s best to cut them just before serving.
