You guys have made it known loud and clear that you LOVE the downhome, Southern recipes on Divas Can Cook! However, you’d also LOVE lighter options for when you’re trying to watch your waistline or for specific diet lifestyles.

I hear ya, honey! Today I’m teaming up with Fisher Nuts again to bring you these delicious Frosted Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars!

Frosted Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars

Last time I worked with Fisher Nuts I showed you guys how to make this Easy Fried Ice Cream and Butter Pecan Bread! Remember how amazing those were!? If not, you need to make it asap!

Well, I think you’ll find these frosted paleo pumpkin pie bars just as yummy! We aren’t paleo in my house, but that didn’t keep us from devouring them! That, my friends, is a sure sign of a successful recipe remake in my book!

Frosted Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars

I plan on making these Frosted Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars for Thanksgiving this year. We have many family & friends who are on Paleo and Gluten-free diets. I always like to have at least one dessert to accommodate them.

Frosted Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars Recipe

These bars start with a delicious baked cinnamon-pecan crust that is so easy! Scoop out some Fisher Nuts pecans and place them in the food processor. The resealable, stand up bags makes this process a cinch!

Crush the pecans in a food processor, and then place some of the pecans back into the processor until it turns into pecan butter! This nut butter along with coconut oil, cinnamon and a bit of stevia to sweeten, creates one tasty baked nut crust!

The nut crust pairs up beautifully with the perfectly spiced, maple-sweetened, pumpkin pie filling and whipped coconut cream frosting.

When I made these, I didn’t even tell my husband they were Paleo. He loves pumpkin anything, so I was ready to judge his reaction. He took one bite and said “Mmm..these are good. They taste really light.”.

I couldn’t agree more! Sweet enough for a dessert yet light enough for a quick snack.

Enjoy!
