These Flourless Pumpkin Coconut Bars are gooey, delicious & easy to make. They’re a different texture & taste than my Pumpkin Blondies (found here) but equally delicious!

INGREDIENTS:
130g (1/2 cup) almond butter (or other nut butter)
130 (1/2 cup) pumpkin puree
1 whole egg (free range organic)
1/3 cup Swerve brown sugar substitute (or other granulated erythritol sweetener)

1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup (15g) shredded unsweetened coconut (can omit)

DIRECTIONS:
Pre heat oven to 350F. Line a 8×6 (or other smaller baking dish) with Parchment paper.
