Pumpkin Almond Butter Bars

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment, and lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond butter, eggs, and vanilla bean paste; whisk until smooth. Add almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt; whisk again until well-combined
3. Stir in chocolate chips and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chopped almond butter cups on top (also just now thinking you could do PB and PB cups…..)
4. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 ish minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool then remove bars from pan, slice into 12 squares, and ENJOY!!!
