The perfect alternative to pumpkin pie! Homemade Nutella swirl through a thick layer of pumpkin pie filling, sitting atop a shortbread crust - you won't believe they're gluten free, dairy free, and paleo.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of an stand mixer, combine coconut oil and maple syrup on high speed until combined and creamy.
1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Add coconut flour, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and mix on low speed until completely combined.
1 cup coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Press batter into prepared pan and flatted into an even layer and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside.
Filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, coconut sugar, coconut milk, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until completely combined and mostly smooth.
2 eggs, 1-15 oz can organic pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Pour over the prepared crust, smoothing with a spatula if necessary.
If it's not already a pourable consistency, warm your homemade nutella in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
1/4 cup homemade paleo Nutella
Place large dollops of Nutella on top of the pumpkin filling, then drag a knife between the dollops to create swirls.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and no longer jiggles if you lightly shake the pan. Let cool completely in pan.
Use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan, slice into 9-16 pieces and enjoy!
