Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour

- 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

Filling:
- 1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin purée

🍂 Instructions

🌟 Forever FIT Tip
Top with a small dollop of coconut whipped cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s comfort food you can feel good about.
These bars are great for sharing (or meal-prepping — no judgment!). They’re rich in beta-carotene from the pumpkin and protein from the eggs, and they satisfy your sweet tooth without spiking your blood sugar.
