Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking pan with butter or oil.

Step 2

In a large bowl whisk together rolled oats, flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl combine muscovado sugar, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, eggs and vanilla.

Step 3

Add the dry to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 4

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in pan.

Step 5

For the frosting, beat together the softened cream cheese and maple syrup with a hand mixer until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Then grate some fresh nutmeg over top (alternatively you can sprinkle a little more pumpkin pie spice over the frosting).

Step 6

Store the Healthy Pumpkin Bars covered and in the fridge.
