16 portions
Ingredients
Ingredients for the crust:
- 80ml of pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably amber for its rich taste)
- 55 g ghee or butter
- 125 g oat flour
- 6 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Ingredients for the pumpkin filling:
- 80 ml pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably amber for its rich taste)
- 1 can pumpkin purée
- 125 ml coconut yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 medium egg
- 1 egg yoke
- ¼ tsp salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F (160°C fan) and line an 8-inch square tray (or equivalent) with parchment paper and set aside.
- To make the crust, mix the maple syrup and ghee in a mixing bowl. Add the oat flour, coconut flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined, the texture should be slightly sticky, yet slightly crumbly dough.
- Place the bowl in the fridge to chill for at least 20 minutes to allow it to firm up. The dough needs to be of a crumbly consistency. If it isn’t, allow it to chill a little longer.
- For the pumpkin filling, whisk the maple syrup, pumpkin purée, coconut yogurt and vanilla extract together. Add the eggs and salt and whisk again until well combined.
- Press two-thirds of the mixture into the base of the tray. Pour in the pumpkin filling and spread evenly, then crumble the rest of the oats on top.
- Bake in the oven for 55-65 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let the bars cool completely in the tray before slicing.
These pumpkin crumb bars are crumbly and have a delicious buttery crust. Sweetened with pure Canadian maple syrup for a natural touch of sweetness. They are lightly spiced for an
Autumnal sweet treat.
