Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites

/

You'll never believe these are gluten-free! Great snack to bring to a party or to serve as dessert on Thanksgiving. You can serve in slices as Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread, but I preferred cutting them into bite-size squares. They were a hit at the Thanksgiving Eve dinner party I attended tonight!

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites

Yields 16 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 eggs (pasture-raised or free-range is best)

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

  • 1/4 cup melted melted grass-fed butter or melted coconut oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour

  • 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like the Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.

  2. Whisk eggs, pumpkin, maple syrup, and butter together in a large bowl. Stir in coconut flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda and salt. If you have a high-speed blender like the Vitamix, feel free to throw all the ingredients in and blend until smooth and then transfer into a bowl.

  3. Add the chocolate chips and mix with a spoon until combined.

  4. Pour into a greased 8x8 casserole dish.

  5. Bake for 35 minutes.

  6. Cool, cut into 16 squares, and serve.

VARIATIONS

  • Replace the chocolate chips with walnuts or pecans

  • Omit the chocolate chips completely- still tastes great without!
