These delicious No Bake Pumpkin Bars are reminiscent of fudgy brownies, with a hint of pumpkin spice. They have a rich chocolate flavor, and are topped with a silky smooth frosting, thanks to Earth Echo Cacao Bliss.
INGREDIENTS
Bar Ingredient – 2 cups pitted Medjool date – 1 cup raw walnuts – 1/2 cup pumpkin puree – 1/2 cup Earth Echo Cacao Bliss Superfood Blend – 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Frosting Ingredient – 1/2 cup Earth Echo Cacao Bliss Superfood Blend – 1/4 cup coconut oil melted – 1/4 cup maple syrup or other liquid sweetener of choice
1. Blend the bar ingredients together in a blender or food processor until your desired consistency is achieved (smooth or chunky!). Press into a parchment paper-lined 8×8 pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
MAKING PROCESS
2. While the bars are in the fridge, make the frosting. Combine the frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl, then whisk until smooth.
3.Remove the bars from the fridge, then spread the frosting over the top. Place back into the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes longer.
4. Remove the bars from the fridge, slice, and enjoy! Keep stored in the refrigerator.
These bars maintain their shape and texture for about half an hour at room temperature. After that, they are still just as delicious, but much softer in nature.
