Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
Sabtu, 24 Agustus 2019
Edit
Pumpkin bars slathered with a cream cheese frosting are a delicious cake baked with coconut flour. A low carb and gluten free cake that will have you reaching for another.
This pumpkin bar recipe yields such a moist sponge you would never guess that you are eating a healthier alternative. The pumpkin spices give the sponge a delicious warmth and the pumpkin an additional sweetness.
The first time I made these pumpkin bars I tasted one and then packed them up to take to the staff at my vets to eat. The car wheels spun in the driveway as I pulled away quickly. I would not have trusted myself alone in the house with a whole batch of these and had to get them out of the house!
The second batch stayed in the house as the Chief Taster is now back. The temptation for me to eat them all has now disappeared. It’s now a battle for the last piece so order in the kitchen has been restored.
