Healthy Pumpkin Squares

I know, I know, I'm obsessed with pumpkin, and I'm sorry to those of you that hate pumpkin.  I'll try to limit my pumpkin posts in the next few weeks.  But this right here is delicious and I just loved it so much I have to share it with you guys.  This is also from Chocolate Covered Katie.

Yes, I think I have tried all of her recipes.  And no, I have not found one that is not delicious.  Okay, here is her recipe for the healthy pumpkin squares.

Pumpkin  Squares


Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar (or agave) (For a sugar-free version, you can use xylitol.)
• 2 packets NuNaturals stevia (or 2 more tablespoons sugar)
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (or cooked, pureed pumpkin)
• 2 tablespoons milk of choice
• 2 tablespoons oil (Some readers say subbing applesauce is fine, but I haven’t tried it. Coconut oil is really good, but veg oil is ok too.)
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. 
• Combine dry ingredients, then add in wet. 
• Spread into an oiled 7×5 pan (or double the recipe for an 8×8) and cook for 14-15 minutes. Note: You can sub agave for the sugar; they’ll just be fluffier/cake-ier.
  

Again, this is all Chocolate Covered Katie, not me.

Oh, I also have something to tell you about oat flour.  You can make your own!  It is honestly the best thing ever.  Just put some oats in your blender and blend until they have about the same consistency as flour!  Good luck!
