Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the pumpkin squares in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
