Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Bars

Recipe:  Pumpkin Pie Bars
November 1, 2021RecipesRecipes: DessertRecipes: Fall & WinterRecipes: Holiday

Dining with dietary restrictions can make enjoying holiday classics feel just out of reach. These pumpkin pie bars guarantee that won’t be the case with dessert! Simple swaps will easily make this recipe gluten-free and/or dairy-free. And because we couldn’t resist, we amped up the nutrition a bit too. We reduced the sugar, opted for healthier fats, and even sneaked in a bit of extra fiber. These subtle tweaks ensure the true essence of the dish is not lost. Trust us, but go ahead and try it for yourself!
