Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and you can’t forget about the star of the food – the PUMPKIN! So why not make some super moist, delicious, can’t-even-tell-they’re-Keto pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting!?

Just because you may be adapting to the Keto lifestyle, doesn’t mean you have to give up all your favorite things. You just have to make some adjustments.

For this recipe, you need a couple Mixing Bowls. In one, mix all the dry ingredients. In the other, mix the oil, eggs, pumpkin, and water.

Once mixed, pour into an 11 x 7 in pan. Bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees) for approx 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let it cool, then make the frosting.

Whip the cream cheese. Add in the vanilla, sweetener, and lemon peel. Spread on cooled bars.
