Pumpkin Bars



Ingredients
Cake Layer
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup Lakanto golden monkfruit sweetener
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • � teaspoon Pink Himalayan sea salt
  • (optional) 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice - I've heard many people like to add pumpkin spice for a little extra pumpkin kick!
  • Greasing agent of choice

Frosting
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered Lakanto golden monkfruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 10 drops liquid stevia
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease regular size (18x13) baking sheet. The sheet size can be a little flexible if you monitor baking time.
  2. Cake layer
  3. In a large bowl, add eggs, olive oil, monkfruit and pumpkin puree. Beat with hand beater until well combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt (and optional pumpkin pie spice). Combine well.
  5. Add dry mixture to egg mixture and continue beating with hand beater.
  6. Pour evenly in baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Frosting
  1. Mix all ingredients (except almond milk) in a medium bowl and beat with clean hand beaters.
  2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk (IF NEEDED) to get a slightly more spreadable consistency.
  3. Frost a WARM cake. Put small globs all over cake and spread with frosting spreader or butter knife. A spatula does not work very well.
  4. Put as much or as little frosting as you want!
  5. Keep refrigerated.

THE BEST CREPE RECIPE

Ingredients 4 large eggs 2 1/4 cups milk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil good pinch of salt US Customary - Metric Instructions Place all ingredients in order as listed in a blender and blitz until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and blend again briefly until batter is lump-free. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but 2 is ideal. Place nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat* to preheat. Melt a little butter or oil in the bottom of the pan and swirl to coat. With the hot skillet in one hand and the batter in the other, slowly and steadily pour crepe batter into the center of the pan, tilting the skillet around to spread the batter evenly across the bottom in a very thin layer. It takes some practice but after 3 or 4 times, you can get consistently even crepes. After 10-15 seconds, the crepe batter shouldn't look shiny anymore, it should appear more matte and the bottom should be lightly browned. So,...
