I found this amazing-sounding recipe at HealthandWellnessWarrior.com and had to share with you all! Thanks Sylvia!!

Festive Fall Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies

Ingredients:

*1 cup gluten-free flour (oat or millet flour are great choices) *1/2 cup cacao powder (I used unprocessed, raw cacao) *1/2 tsp sea salt *1/2 tsp baking soda *1/4 tsp of pumpkin spice (optional) *1 cup pureed pumpkin (or canned pumpkin) *1/4 cup maple syrup *3 tbsp raw cane sugar (coconut sugar works great too) *2 tbsp coconut butter, or coconut oil *1/4 cup almond milk (or any other nut milk of your choice)

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir very well. You may want to melt the coconut butter/oil in a separate container prior to mixing it in.
Lightly oil a baking pan and pour the mixture inside
Bake for 20-25 minutes
Let cool off and cut into squares

*It’s best to wait an hour or so before you eat these sweet little treats. The flavors really pop out when they cool off and harden a bit!
