Grain Free And Gluten Free Pumpkin Dessert Bars
When you have a diet with restrictions, for any reason, it can sometimes be a little more difficult to find or modify recipes.
Have no fear! If you are following a grain-free, gluten-free, or even dairy-free diet and in need of a gluten free pumpkin dessert, this recipe is just for you!
As is, the recipe contains dairy, but you could use coconut oil instead of butter and the recipe will work just fine. For the cream cheese frosting, you could use a dairy-free substitute like the ones from Daiya or Kite Hill.
