Pumpkin bar treats

With Thanksgiving in just a few weeks I have pumpkin on the brain. These vegan, gluten-free Pumpkin Bars are grain-free treats will sure to be a fav! And that cinnamon streusel topping makes it rich, and so festive. Can be easily made ahead and kept in freezer as well. 
IngredientsWet:
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar 
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp flax seed meal
  • Dry:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot
  • 2 to 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Streusel:
  • 2.5 tbsp brown sugar or use coconut sugar
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp almond flour or a combination of almond and coconut flours
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or pumpkin puree - to moisten it/make crumb-like
Line a loaf pan (9x5 in). Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients under wet until well combined.
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and add to the wet, Combine to make a thick batter.
Drop the batter into a parchment lined loaf pan and even it out using a spatula.
Mix the streusel ingredients. It should be crumbly
Spread on top. Bake for 30 to 35 mins.
Cool for 10 mins in the pan. Then remove from the pan, I like to put in the freezer for an hour or two to firm up before slicing. 
What's your favorite pumpkin treat? 
Enjoy!
