Chocolate and pumpkin are combined in these easy to make delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars.
Do you need a fall or holiday treat that is so good no one will know that it is gluten free? I have been making these gluten free pumpkin bars for years. I have taken them to church dinners, potlucks, family gatherings, and more.
They are a gluten free treat that everyone can enjoy!
Gluten Free Pumpkin Bars
I would describe these pumpkin bars as part cookie bar and part cake. They are lighter and fluffier than a cookie bar, but not as light and fluffy as a cake.
You can frost these, but since they have chocolate chips in them they don’t need frosting.
These gluten free chocolate chip pumpkin bars also freeze well. If you don’t need a full pan of them, freeze the extras for easy gluten free treats this fall.
