All it takes is a quick mix and a pop in the oven, and you’ve got a batch of warm and delicious Almond Butter Pumpkin Bars. This recipe is grain-free and full of simple fall-inspired ingredients. Snuggle up with a bar (or two, or three) and a mug of something cozy.

Did you forget flour in the ingredients list?

Can I use mashed banana in the pumpkin bars in place of the honey?

Can you substitute the Almond Butter for another butter as I am allergic to almonds? Thanks!

I have made the original size and had to let it cook 40minutes. My batter was super runny. Would it be fluffier if I wisked it longer?

We think it’s definitely worth trying out. Often whisking for longer does make for a fluffier outcome! 💚

We loved the flavor but got an interesting result. We tripled the recipe and baked in in a larger pan. They looked great right out of the oven but then they dropped. The texture was more like pie filling than the fluffy texture in the picture, the flavor was great! but I am wondering what we can do next time to achieve a cake-like texture instead.
Thank you!

I’m eating sugar free, so if I use a tiny bit of powdered Monk Fruit extract (no erythritol!) sweetener instead of the honey, do I need to be concerned about the amount of liquid the recipe is not getting from the honey? Thanks for the help!

Just made these with the suggested maple syrup substitution, and added raisins (yes, we actually like them) and they turned out perfectly! I love two-step recipes, especially when they taste as good as this one. Thanks for the great recipe!
