These days even folks who don’t have health issues are opting to eat gluten free, and with company coming for breakfast, I wanted to make sure I was pleasing everyone.
Flipping through the pages of The Everything Eating Clean Cookbook, I found exactly what I was looking for.
Pumpkin Bars
Pumpkin Bar Batter
To make this a gluten free version of the original recipe, I swapped out the whole wheat flour for Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour. Then I added an extra egg (sometimes Bob’s needs some extra ooomph), and tossed in a handful of raisins.
Ta-da! Gluten Free Pumpkin . . . muffins? Bars?
Baking Pan
My darling sister-in-law gave me a fun baking dish for Christmas that I couldn’t wait to use, and this was the perfect opportunity.
Pumpkin Bars
These bars worked well and had a custard-like texture with a spicy sweetness thanks to a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Even better, they were a hit with our gluten free and non-gluten free guests alike. You can’t beat that!
Happy, healthy cooking!
