Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the bars dense.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the pan cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
Step 8
Once cool, slice the pumpkin bars into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious vegan pumpkin bars with a cup of warm spiced tea or coffee!
