Low FODMAP Pumpkin Bars

Not sure if you’re craving something sweet or savoury? These easy low FODMAP pumpkin bars are the best of both worlds! 

Ingredients

Bars

  • 2 cups low FODMAP all-purpose flour
  • 1 + 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground cloves
  • 1 + 3/4 cups pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

Frosting

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cups icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp lactose-free milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 10 x 15″ baking pan with cooking spray.

  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cloves in a large bowl.

  3. Add the pumpkin, eggs, and vegetable oil, and stir until the batter is fully combined.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the bars in the baking pan on a wire rack.

Frosting

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to heat until it turns a rich brown colour (like maple syrup). Then remove the butter from the burner and allow it to cool slightly.

  2. Combine the butter, icing sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl and beat on medium speed until the batter becomes a light and fluffy frosting. Spread evenly over your bars, then cut them into 36 squares.
