These AIP pumpkin pie bars are lightly sweetened with maple syrup, are allergen-friendly and they taste so delicious. The texture is like a firm cake-ier version of pie (is that a thing?) and the crumb topping with coconut butter icing tops this off and up-levels the whole darn thing. This dessert is a winner!
Fall is here, and though it’s been mega hot in NYC the past few days – I’m ready to bring on the pumpkin! It’s been a while since I’ve made some baked goods. I’ve been steering towards savory most of the time, but once fall and winter come around it’s hard for me to not whip out the Kitchenaid mixer and go to town on the weekend! I’m stoked with how delicious this came out. With only 1/4 cup of maple syrup throughout the whole thing (base, topping, and icing!), this lightly sweet treat is a smarter choice to not put you into a sugar coma or take you off track.

I finally made this & it is so good! Thank you!
mine tasted a little gritty but other than that it was very satisfying. I think it is the tigernut flour that has that consistency. I made some and am on my way to eating it all so I will have to quickly bring some to a friend who is gluten free also.
my only problem is i ate it all myself
I nearly did too… #delishdessertproblems – thanks for trying them!
i love pretty and tasty desserts! This looks like both!
Heck yes! Me too <3
OH MY GOODNESS THESE LOOK ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I LOVE ANYTHING WITH A GOOD CRUMB TOPPING AND I’M ALL FOR THE CAKE-ISH PIE THING THEY HAVE GOING ON. CAN’T WAIT TO TRY! ALSO WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD REPLACEMENT FOR TIGERNUT FLOUR? I DON’T THINK IT’S SOMETHING I CAN FIND WHERE I AM.
YAS! Thanks, Ruby. You could try almond flour instead! I order Tigernut flour online (Organic Gemini brand).
Hope you enjoy XO
What is tigernut flour?
Tigernut is a tuber, not a nut and they’ve made a flour from it. It reminds of me of almond flour a bit, and it has a great taste: https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Gemini-TigerNut-Flour-Gluten-Free/dp/B01JQNP006/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506825112&sr=8-2&keywords=tigernut+flour
Like cake and pie and streusel muffin all in one plus PUMPKIN!!! So. Much. Yes.
If I’m going to bake… I’m going to have my cake and eat it too, know what I mean?? HAHA! Thanks mama! XO
