Coffee shops are starting to roll out their pumpkin spiced lattes and fall is inching closer each day! If you like to get festive for the fall with pumpkin spiced-flavored food, look no further than these delicious pumpkin bars created by my friend Stacie at Sugar Face Bakes!
Enjoy them as an indulgent breakfast bar or serve accompanied by your coffee or as a dessert. The best part is they are gluten-free while the spices blend together to create a cozy fall feeling. Plus the pumpkin puree is rich in nutrients and Vitamin A. This recipe may also be your new go-to Thanksgiving dessert so you may want to save this recipe! Keep the pumpkin party going with my pumpkin spiced cookies recipe that is sure to be a favorite this fall!
If you’re baking these next couple of months and want to stay flexible, use a gluten-free option for your recipe. One of my favorite flours is the Cup4Cup all-purpose gluten-free flour because you don’t need to figure out conversion rates—simply swap one cup of regular flour for one cup of the Cup4Cup flour.
