My daughter gave me this one from Kasey Tranum. it is a Keeper!
I have adjusted it to my sugar & spice choice
PUMPKIN PIE BARS for the bars: 2eggs 1/3 cup+1Tbsp Monkfruit Classic ( I used 4 tsp Erythritol + 2 monkfruit measures) 1/2 cup coconut oil melted 8 oz pumpkin puree 1/4 c coconut flour 1tsp baking powder 1/2tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 pumpkin pie spice (I used what I normally used for pumpkin pie, 1 tsp cinn, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp mace, a dash of nutmeg)
for the icing: 2 oz cream cheese (I used 4oz) (soft) 2 Tbsp Butter (soft) 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Lakanto monkfruit powdered ( i used 2 measures of monkfruit) 1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring
Instructions for the bars 1. preheat oven to 350 2. in a bowl combine eggs, monkfruit classic, melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, & spices. mix well with a mixer. 3 in a separate bowl combine coconut flour, salt, baking powder & soda. mix with fork 4 add flour mix to the pumpkin mix & mix well. 5 pour into a greased 9x9 pan ( I used a 7x11) 6 Bake for 28 mins or until knife comes out clean
for icing combine all ingredients in bowl and beat smooth with a mixer
Once the pumpkin bars are cooled off spread icing all over & chill til served.
I cut mine in 15 squares, 3xs by 5xs each square = 2.5 carbs , 105 calories These are very good do not taste low carb. easy to make & last over a week covered in fridge. enjoy

I have an idea. I am going to use the ricotta cheese in place of pumpkin puree and use lemon flavoring to turn this into a lemon torte dessert. If it works you will see it in the subject title :) may even try making this for my Friday dinner guest.

It worked. Lemon Bars Same as pumpkin bars but switch the pumpkin for ricotta cheese and skip the spices for lemon juice Or lemon flavoring. add a smidgen more monk fruit sweetener. top the icing with some pecans and there you go. my hubby even likes it. turned out very well.
I think you could switch this up in many directions. thinking of blending a couple of strawberries into the ricotta cheese or try some coco. Maybe some blueberries or rhubarb. yep this is versatile and easy. have fun.
