Pumpkin Squares

– Lower Carb, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Dairy Free

October 17, 2014 By Lisa Kelso

The other night friends were coming over for dinner, I didn’t have much time to make dessert and I had a craving for pumpkin. I was actually in the mood for pumpkin pie, since it’s that time of the year again. But I didn’t feel like spending the time it takes to fit a crust into a pie plate and fuss around making sure the pie filling didn’t spill out of the pan. Also I was feeding more people than 1 pie would serve and I certainly didn’t have time to make 2 pies. So I came up with these quick and delicious pumpkin squares.

For only a little effort you get 15 wonderful pieces of spicy pumpkin yumminess that are dairy free, gluten free, sugar free and as low carb as anything made with pumpkin can get. I used coconut milk instead of the usual regular milk or cream, and the coconut flavor works really well with the pumpkin.
