Hello, October! Can you believe we only have 92 days left of 2018? I feel like that went a little fast, right? I’m not too upset because as you know, this time of year is my FAVORITE time of year. I mean, I have the best line up. September is my birthday, October is Halloween, November Thanksgiving, and we round out the year with Christmas in December! I mainly love this year because I feel that the spirits start lifting up a little more. People are nicer, more giving, more playful, and more imaginative. It’s a beautiful time, right?

SO I wanted to officially welcome October in the only way I know how: BAKING WITH PUMPKIN! I decided to take my old layered pumpkin brownie bars and essentially mesh them into one, and man it turned out right! I was really hoping it would because I was honestly winging it, and you know how that can go with me haha!

What I love about these guys is that they’re completely paleo, easily made vegan, and don’t have any added sugar, not even coconut! The only sugar content comes from the sweet potatoes, which have natural fructose in there! And yet, they some how taste incredibly sweet! I always have to wonder, did I douse my sweet p’s in sugar before I made them? Ha! No! They just caramelize when you bake them!

That’s a big tip I have: BAKE YOUR SWEET PS! Don’t boil. Don’t steam. BAKE! You can thank me later 😉 The only ingredients you need are:

Extra large sweet potatoes  

Pumpkin Puree

Flax eggs/eggs

Cacao Powder

Coconut Flour

Coconut Butter/Oil

Spices

That’s it! Easy enough, right?
