Instructions
Pumpkin Bars
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground flax seed and water. Allow to rest for at least five minutes to thicken. These are your “flax eggs.”
Beat the “flax eggs” and sugar together in a stand mixer. Slowly add the coconut oil and mix to combine.
Add the pumpkin puree and beat until light and fluffy.
Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt) together in a separate bowl.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a fluffy batter is formed.
Pour batter into a 12x16 rimmed baking pan (or jelly roll pan). Bake for 20 minutes.
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream together the vegan cream cheese, vegan margarine, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth. (This is best done in a stand mixer.)
Slowly add in one cup of powdered sugar at a time, whisking until combined.
Continue mixing on high until the frosting is nice and fluffy.
Allow the pumpkin bars to cool completely, then top with a layer of vegan cream cheese frosting.
