They are gluten and dairy free and make a perfect healthy dessert alternative. (Side note: they're also amazing with coffee in the morning as a treat!)

I originally was just calling them pumpkin bars, but they are so gooey and delicious they deserved a better fitting name. Pumpkin Pie Brownie Bars it is!
