Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup whole ground brown flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/4 cup crushed walnuts (see notes)
Instructions
- Prepare an 8*6*2 inch rectangular glass baking pan with a parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseed meal, chopped walnuts, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, cardamom powder, salt. Mix it well with a spoon until all the ingredients blend well.
- Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup and vanilla extract to it.
- Mix it with a spatula or your hands. It will be like a sticky dough. Scoop a little dough and try to make a ball with your fingers. It should stick together.
- Spoon the dough into the prepared baking pan and shape it with a spatula or hands according to the pan.
- Cover its top with crushed walnuts and press them gently with fingers into the dough so the walnuts do not fall out.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 25 minutes. Once done, take the pan out of the refrigerator and place it on a counter. Gently pull out the parchment paper along with the settled dough batter and place it on a flat surface. Then, with a sharp knife cut into desired slices. Drizzle some more maple syrup or enjoy as is.

Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in a glass container in a single layer for about 2 weeks.
- You may sprinkle about 1/2 cup chocolate chips at the top of the dough along with crushed walnuts.
- These pumpkin bars are mildly sweetened so feel free to drizzle some maple syrup on your slice as per your taste.
- Do not use golden flaxseed meal in this recipe.
- Roughly crush the walnuts with the help of mortar and pestle. Do not make them too powdered. Tiny pieces add to the overall texture and taste.
