Print Friendly Version

Low-FODMAP pumpkin bars are an amazing low-FODMAP autumn snack.  I make these low-FODMAP pumpkin bars without any add-ins for a classic flavor, but you can style this low-FODMAP recipe with seeds, walnuts or pecans!

I love a low-FODMAP spicy pumpkin treat in the fall, or anytime of the year. Packed with antioxidants, fiber and so much flavor, low-FODMAP pumpkin bars are like the colors of autumn.  A gorgeous palette of low-FODMAP taste, texture and nutrition.

Enjoy these low-FODMAP pumpkin bars with low-FODMAP cream cheese frosting, my low-FODMAP vegan ‘butter’cream, or low-FODMAP Opera Cream/Ermine frosting.

  1. Best pumpkin bars I’ve ever had! I’ve only been eating low fodmaps for a few months now. Made this recipe when visiting all my family, it was a big hit! Will definitely be making these again!

    1. THANK YOU! We love hearing feedback like this!
      Please consider adding a ‘star’ rating in the future, so others can find these recipes more easily. Stay in touch 🙂

  2. I make these and use the cream cheese recipe for the icing (Fluffy Low-FODMAP Cream Cheese Frosting; Gluten-free, Lactose-free). However I use Earth’s Own Dairy Free Cream Cheese and usually Becel vegan butter or margarine. They always turn out great!!
