KETO PUMPKIN BARS

This keto pumpkin bars recipe, there are only nine ingredients, unless you add optional keto chocolate chips or with Keto Cream Cheese Frosting, top these keto pumpkin bars .

In the oven in less than ten minutes, you can easily have these low carb pumpkin bars.

In this low carb pumpkin bar recipe, I use Swerve granulated sugar replacement but you can also use Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener/Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup.

KETO PUMPKIN BARS RECIPE

You can use either a glass pan or a metal pan for this keto pumpkin bars recipe . I find that both work equally as well. For best results, use an 8X8 pan.

You can use a smaller pan if you want thicker pumpkin bars but you’ll need to adjust your cook time.

TIPS FOR WORKING WITH ALMOND FLOUR

It is NOT a 1-to-1 for other flours is the one thing to note about using almond flour . It reacts differently in recipes as it has a lot more protein and fat, and less starch.

If you’re not going to use it up in a week or two, it’s best stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

Before baking with it, always bring Almond meal or flour to room temperature. It’ll absorb more of the liquid and your batter will be thicker than it should be if you use it cold.

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • (we used Lakanto or Swerve)¼ cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
