Pro tip: this recipe is a wonderful idea for parties because it makes 16 incredible bars.

Step 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter, then line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2 Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 3 In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and brown sugar alternative for about 2 minutes, until bubbly. Add in pumpkin puree and mix well.

Step 4 Mix in dry ingredients and stir together quickly, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Don’t let the batter sit too long, as it will thicken.

Step 5 Bake for 40-50 minutes until bars are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto the cooling rack. Once cool, invert the whole cake onto a plate or tray.

Step 6 To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Step 7 Spread frosting onto bars, then cut into 16 squares.
