You’re probably already fully entrenched in all things fall (cue pumpkin spice, too many apples to deal with, etc.) but what kind of person would I be if I didn’t give you yet another pumpkin recipe?
This is the pumpkin bread of your dreams. From the texture, to the chocolate chips, it’s the perfect fall (or anytime treat) without any overpowering flavors. Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of pumpkin, I have a feeling you’ll love these.
The pumpkin puree make these bars moist (yeah I said it) and the blend of coconut and almond flour create the perfect fluffy texture. Not to mention, they are dairy-free, gluten-free, AND grain-free!
All you need is:
Pumpkin Puree
Coconut Flour
Almond Flour
Almond Butter (or any nut butter of choice!)
Eggs
Coconut Sugar
Coconut Oil
Chocolate Chips
…that’s it!
Minimal, real ingredients make the best treats. Try these for yourself and bring to a fall gathering, to work, or school. I love to pair these with my afternoon cup of tea or coffee. Or you could eat them with a pumpkin spice latte if you’re feeling REALLY dangerous.
As always, tag me @DADAEATS and #DADAEATS on Instagram so I can see your lovely creations!

These look absolutely delicious! Do you think there’s a possible substitute for the eggs? Flax eggs perhaps? I have an egg allergy, but these look too good to not try to make them vegan! Thanks so much!
Hi McKenna! I’ve never tested without the egg but please do try them with a flax egg and let me know!! Xx
Made this last night, subbing tapioca flour for the coconut- fantastic!! Baked up beautifully! I added a few extra chocolate chips on top for luck. Delicious!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed!! Xx
These look incredible! Did you test them with flax eggs?
