Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang for easy removal; set aside.

Step 2

Next, whisk the pumpkin, egg, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a large bowl. Then, add the sugar, pumpkin spice spice and baking soda and stir until the mixture it smooth.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place it into the oven and bake the bars for 30-35 minutes or until the center has set.

Step 4

Remove them from the oven and transfer the dish onto a cooling rack. Let the bars cool completely before removing them; for faster cooling, transfer the dish to the refrigerator.

Step 5

Before serving, make the maple glaze: whisk maple syrup and powdered sugar together, then drizzle it over the bars.

Step 6

Slice into 9 large or 16 small bars and enjoy!
