I thought it might be fun to continue the pumpkin spice trend with a snack!

These bars are entirely gluten free and dairy free.  Because I used gluten free flours (coconut and almond) there is also more protein than there would be in something baked with regular flour, so these will keep you full for longer!

You could get a little creative with these and add extra nuts, seeds or extra chocolate chips or cacao nibs.  I made them with mini chocolate chips for some extra decadence!
