Oh, how I love all things pumpkin! Pumpkin curry, pumpkin truffles, pumpkin peanut butter, pumpkin loaf cake...and these, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Squares!
If, after this weekend, you have some leftover pumpkin lying about, then these gooey, sweet cakey bites are the perfect treat to make.
Made with pumpkin puree, peanut butter and delicious coconut flour, these bites are wonderful for indulging, but without over-doing it. I love serving mine slightly warm to keep them as gooey as possible, and to ensure the chocolate is delicious and melted. What could be better?
Happy Halloween!
