Servings 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup greek yogurt
- ½ cup coconut cashew milk
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¾ cup oats
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup dates
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Let's start by making that oat date crust - you'll need a blender or food processor.All you'll do to make the oat flour is place 1 cup of oats into the blender/ processor and pulse until it is finely ground.
- Next, add the walnuts, dates, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Blend this until everything is glossy, sticky and combined.
- You may have to stop the machine and scrape the sides a few times. Add the rest of the whole oats, mix and push into a baking dish greased with coconut oil.
- Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the filling.
- Pour pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cashew coconut milk, cornstarch, vanilla and spices into a bowl and whisk lightly. Beat your eggs, and pour into the filling mixture.Whisk everything together well.
- When the crust has finished pre-baking, pull it from the oven, pour the pumpkin filling over top and place back into the oven for 30 mins, or until the center is set and not jiggly- haha!
- Pull the dish from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.I like my pumpkin pie cold, so I tend to let it cool overnight in the pan before slicing.
