These cinnamon-spiked, gluten free, Chocolate Chip Kabocha Bars make for a decadent tasting dessert, but, check out the ingredient list and you will see that these are the perfect treat for breakfast too!

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar can sub honey or plain sugar and can increase quantity for sweeter bars
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/3 cup roasted and mashed kabocha
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  •  First off, I roasted my kabocha squash (aka Japanese pumpkin) for 45 minutes in a 375 degree oven. When it was done, I set it aside to come to room temperature before scooping out 1 1/3 cup to use for this recipe. Roasted kabocha is delicious plain with almond butter or you can have it on hand for recipes like this.
  • To make these Chocolate Chip Kabocha Bars, Preheat oven to 370 degrees
  • Place ALL the ingredients in a bowl, grab a whisk and mix well with a spatula/spoon.
  • Then place the mix in a parchment lined 8x8 baking tray and place a few more chocolate chips on top
  • Bake for 35-37 minutes
  • Let cool completely before slicing into 12 pieces.
