Dry ingredients

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum (available in most health food stores)
1/2 cup Sprout Living’s Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder (click button below)
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
Optional - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Wet Ingredients

2 cups pumpkin puree (you can buy ready made in BPA free containers or make your own - see below)
1/2 cup goji berries or raisins
1/2 cup dates, chopped
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup black strap molasses
Flax “eggs" - 2 tablespoons ground flax and 6 tablespoons water mixed well and then let sit until thickened (about 6-10 minutes)

Instructions

In one bowl, mix dry ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients together.
Fold wet ingredients into dry ones, mixing by hand until well-combined.
Then spoon mixture into 8"X11" glass baking pan, smoothing surface before baking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes (you can test by placing a toothpick in the center, you want it to come out clean), and when done, cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into bars and enjoy!
